Порт Джорджии зафиксировал рост экспорта и импорта контейнеров на 7,7% и 5% соответственно в июле

The Georgia Ports Authority reported exports totaled nearly 115,000 containers, up 7.7 percent or more than 8,200 over July 2025. Imports reached 251,888, an increase of 5 percent or 12,300 containers. The port handled 503,739 20-foot equivalent container units in July, starting its fiscal year with a gain of 27,051 units, or 5.7 percent, compared to the same month last year. “We’re pleased to start fiscal year 2027 in positive territory for both import and export cargo. Our August volumes on the water also look strong,” said Georgia Ports CEO Griff Lynch. The port handled nearly 15,000 truck transactions per day in July, counting import and export moves. Truck turn times averaged 31 minutes for a single container and 51 minutes for a dual move. Nearly 80 percent of truck transactions at Garden City Terminal are dual moves, improving the truck driver experience, profitability and supply chain velocity. GPA President Kevin Price said truck drivers gained a quicker route into the Port of Savannah July 15, when the Georgia DOT opened the Brampton Road Connector. The $126-million, four-lane highway links Garden City Terminal’s Gate 3 directly to the Interstate 16 corridor. “Georgia has earned its business-friendly reputation because state agencies work together,” said GPA Board Chairman Alec Poitevint. “Partners such as Georgia DOT and the Department of Economic Development help connect world-class infrastructure with business, making Georgia one of the best places to invest in for their long-term future growth.” Port of Brunswick At the Port of Brunswick, auto imports reached 51,704 units, up 5.3 percent or 2,618 units over the same month last year. Drivable machinery saw larger gains, with total import and export volumes up 24.4 percent or 483 units to 2,465. Total auto trade reached 61,756 units for the month, down 4.5 percent or 2,920 units, due to lower vehicle exports. Combined autos and heavy machinery reached 67,881 units, down 1.6 percent or 1,111 units compared to July 2025.
