Georgia Ports

Every day, Georgians take advantage of the state's ports, often without realizing it.

For tens of thousands, it's picking up a paycheck built off the international trade Georgia companies have developed by utilizing the port system.

And for untold numbers of Georgians, the ports touch their lives daily in countless ways, from food to clothing, cars to electronics, furniture to lumber. As international commerce increases, there's a strong chance many of the items you use, eat or wear have entered through docks in Savannah and Brunswick.

With the fastest-growing port in the country, Savannah's facilities provide a steady stream of business into the state, though much of it goes largely unseen by most Georgians.
