Tariffs anticipation behind surge at Georgia ports
- The Georgia Ports Authority reported record container volumes in April 2025 at the Port of Savannah and significant Roll-on/Roll-off activity at Brunswick, Georgia.
- The surge followed businesses front-loading orders to avoid high tariffs and an ongoing trade war that began with President Trump's import duties in 2024.
- Savannah managed 515,500 TEUs in April, representing a 17 percent year-over-year increase and setting a record for the third consecutive month, while Brunswick experienced a 22 percent drop in RoRo cargo last month following strong March figures.
- GPA announced a $44.5 million Customs inspection warehouse at Savannah's Garden City Terminal opening July 2025 and a $99.8 million fourth RoRo berth at Brunswick’s Colonels Island, expected by 2027.
- These expansions aim to improve efficiency amid ongoing tariff uncertainties as GPA leadership remains optimistic cargo flow will stabilize across Georgia’s ports.
