THE Port of Savannah is adding 400,000 TEU of annual container capacity at a time when port customers are seeking new storage options, the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) has announced. "With slowing demand related to the coronavirus, port users need space to stage their cargo until that demand returns," said GPA executive director Griff Lynch. "With these new container stack areas, Savannah is delivering the flexibility our customers need." GPA recently added container slots totalling nearly 5,000 TEU of space to its operation. By mid-April, more than 6,000 TEU of capacity will go into service, for a total of 11,130 TEU of new container stacking space. These additions will increase Savannah's annual capacity by 400,000 TEU for a new total capacity of six million TEU a year.
