SAVANNAH, Ga., February 25, 2025 – Building strong partnerships, superior connectivity, ample capacity ahead of demand and a responsible approach with communities is the “GPA way,” and sets the ports of Savannah and Brunswick apart from the competition. That was the message shared at the Savannah State of the Port event Feb. 25.
“The impact of Georgia’s ports is felt in all 159 counties, as hardworking Georgians and the industries that employ them rely on these gateways to global commerce to reach markets around the world,” said Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp. “I’m proud to know that the bulk of our exports are produced by small businesses, and the outstanding performance of the Georgia Ports Authority – along with its commitment to strategic investment and growth – are key reasons our state has been ranked No. 1 for business for 11 years in a row.”
GPA Board Chairman Kent Fountain said a cooperative environment among government and supply chain stakeholders is key to Georgia Ports’ success. “All the accolades credited to Georgia Ports are the result of our amazing partnerships,” Fountain said. “It begins with Gov. Kemp and the state legislature, and it extends through our Georgia Ports employees, the local ILA, Gateway Terminals and all our port partners in Savannah and Brunswick. Their collaborative effort makes our ports the nation’s best operated and easiest to use for our customers’ global business.” Read More…
