Savannah's Garden City Terminal and Ocean Terminal are strategic gateways to rail and road distribution networks that offer the most efficient and reliable intermodal access to markets across the U.S. Southeast and Midwest, as well as 70% of the U.S. population. Both terminals are served by Class I rail services (Norfolk Southern Railroad and CSX Transportation). In addition, Garden City Terminal's on-terminal ICTF provides unrestricted double-stack service offering two- to three-day transit times to major hubs throughout the Midwest, Gulf Coast and Southeast, including overnight service to Atlanta, the fastest of any North American port.

Immediate interstate access is available via Interstates 95 (North/ South) and 16 (East/ West), which are within minutes of both terminals. Combine this with the rail efficiencies noted above and Savannah's ports put the U.S. consumer within fast, easy reach.

With Savannah’s earned recognition as “the retail port,” 17 high-volume retail import distribution centers in the Savannah area are taking advantage of the port’s intermodal strength, as well as depth in ocean carrier services, to satisfy just-in-time inventory requirements. Together, Savannah-area distribution centers combine to cover over 14 million square feet and generate in excess of 500,000 TEUs annually.
