Containerport Terminal (GCCT) and the Ocean Terminal.
Both facilities have on-dock rail service and immediate access to I-16

and Gulf Coasts and continues to expand its operations.
Container growth has been a key factor in the overall growth and success

has increased by 56 percent.
The facilities in the Port of Savannah handled a record total of 13.8
million tons of containerized, breakbulk cargo during fiscal year 2004,
a 9.4 percent increase from 2003 and a 45 percent increase from five years
earlier.
Forty-three steamship lines provide regularly scheduled service to destinations
worldwide and moved a seven-teenth-year record volume of containers and
breakbulk cargo in fiscal year 2004. In addition to efforts to increase
capacity, the Port of Savannah has made improvements in facilities and
client relations.
Equipment additions include a 40,000- square foot on-dock cold storage
facility and new ship-to-shore container cranes. The Port has also established
the first Client Relations Center.
