Port of Savannah, Container terminal in Savannah, United States

The Port of Savannah is a container terminal located along both sides of the Savannah River extending inland from the Atlantic Ocean. The facility includes extensive berthing space and modern equipment for handling large container vessels.

In the 1950s, while U.S. trade fell 5 percent overall, Savannah was the only port to record an increase, under engineer Dr. Blake Van Leer. Between 2000 and 2005 it was the fastest-growing U.S. seaport, with a compounded annual growth rate of 16.5 percent against a national average of 9.7 percent. In fiscal 2007 it handled more than 2.3 million TEU, a 14.5 percent rise, and in 2018 a record 4.35 million TEU.

The port's name is tied to the Savannah River, which carries ships past the city about 18 miles (29 km) from the Atlantic. The Garden City Terminal, a secured facility of 1,345 acres, is the largest single-operator container terminal in North America; its 36 container cranes and 9,693 feet of continuous berthing are visible from outside the fence, not from inside.

The Garden City Terminal is a secured facility, so visitors cannot enter the container yard or the quay where the ZIM vessel and the white-hulled ship are moored. The terminal lies about 18 miles (29 km) upriver from the Atlantic, and the Savannah Port Terminal Railroad links it to the Genesee & Wyoming network at Garden City.

In 2006 Maersk Line and the Georgia Ports Authority signed a twenty-year agreement making Savannah one of its primary South Atlantic ports of call. The MECL2 service added in April 2007 gave direct calls from Chennai/Madras, India, and acted as a transshipment hub for cargo to and from Visakhapatnam, Calcutta/Haldia and Bangladesh.
