SAVANNAH, Ga., Jan. 16, 2025 – The Port of Savannah is up to eight days faster for India cargo moving to inland markets such as Atlanta, Chicago and Dallas, compared to West Coast ports.

Six weekly vessel services provide direct connections between Savannah and India, while a total of ten services connect Savannah to the Indian Subcontinent. Twelve ocean carriers serve Savannah-Indian Subcontinent routes, with ocean transit times as short as 29 days. Direct port connections include Hazira, Mumbai/Nhava Sheva, Mundra and Pipavav. Additional calls within the region include Colombo, Sri Lanka and Port Qasim, Pakistan.
