Out In Front

A secured, dedicated container terminal owned and operated by the Georgia Ports Authority and supported by the port industry’s only Client Relations Center, Garden City Terminal is the fourth-largest container port in the United States and the largest single-terminal operation in North America.

The facility’s single-terminal design allows the port to operate in an environment of maximum efficiency and flexibility, as well as increased security, due to the concentration of all manpower, technology and equipment in one massive container operation. Add to this a pro-business, pro-port state versed in the unique requirements of international trade and investment, as well as an experienced labor force from one of the top-six fastest growing populations in the nation, and the opportunities offered by Garden City Terminal are unequaled among U.S. ports.

Two Class I rail providers serve the Garden City Terminal location, which also offers immediate interstate access to the more than 100 trucking companies that service the Savannah area. And with land available for future development, the facility has strategic plans in place for its expansion.
