The Port of Savannah has dramatically boosted its ability to handle cargo over the past year, making improvements that should clear up some supply chain issues by mostly eliminating the lines of ships waiting to unload.
In the early fall, at any given time, more than 30 vessels were lined up, waiting to unload imports and load exported goods. Now, it’s no more than one or two, said Griff Lynch, executive director of the Georgia Ports Authority.
The average container sat in the Savannah port tie for more than 12 days halfway through the year. The average is now about six days, he said.
