Georgia Ports Authority

The Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) manages two of the fastest-growing and most significant seaports on the U.S. East Coast: the Port of Savannah and the Port of Brunswick. Established in 1945, the GPA plays a crucial role in global trade and the state's economy, supporting over 609,000 jobs annually and contributing billions in income, revenue, and tax benefits to Georgia. The Port of Savannah boasts the largest single-terminal container facility in North America and is recognized for its efficient operations, moving cargo from vessel to rail in an industry-leading 16 hours. The region supports a massive logistics industry, with over 67 million square feet of industrial space and direct access to major interstates and railroads. The Port of Brunswick is a major gateway for Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) cargo, particularly automobiles, and is the fastest growing bulk import/export port in the South Atlantic. Both ports are benefiting from major infrastructure investments to further expand their capabilities and maintain Georgia's competitive advantage as a logistics leader. The GPA's ongoing modernization efforts and community engagement initiatives further elevate its regional and national significance.
