Last month marked the busiest April ever for the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA), with the Port of Savannah moving 356,700 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) for the month.
That figure marked a 7.1 percent increase over April 2017. So far this fiscal year, GPA has moved more than 3.4 million TEUs total, an 8.8 percent increase over the first 10 months of FY2017.
“We’re on track to move more than 300,000 TEUs in every month of the fiscal year, which will be a first for the authority,” said GPA Executive Director Griff Lynch in a press release. “We’re also anticipating this to be the first fiscal year for the Port of Savannah to handle more than 4 million TEUs.”
