Inland Ports

Appalachian Regional Port
The Appalachian Regional Port is a joint effort of the state of Georgia, Murray County, the Georgia Ports Authority and CSX Transportation. The new inland rail terminal, which opened in August 2018, provides a powerful new gateway to global markets.
Bainbridge Terminal
Owned and operated by the Georgia Ports Authority, Bainbridge is conveniently located on the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint Waterway, or Tri-Rivers System. The facility is equipped to handle a variety of bulk cargo via barge traffic, including nitrogen solution, gypsum, ammonium sulfate, urea, cottonseed and cypress bark mulch.
Blue Ridge Connector
The planned 104-acre Blue Ridge Connector will provide a direct link to the Port of Savannah via Norfolk Southern. At full build-out, the rail terminal will feature 18,000 feet of working track. With a top capacity of 150,000 container lifts per year, the facility will offset 600 roundtrip highway miles for every container moved by rail.
