The Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) is planning for the future. According to President and CEO Griff Lynch, the authority has issued a letter of intent to Adam Telle, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Civil Works, detailing plans to start a Savannah Harbor modification study.
“The shipping channel needs to be deepened and widened to better accommodate the largest ships currently serving Savannah, and to prepare for even larger, more efficient vessels expected to serve the U.S. East Coast,” said Lynch. “Channel improvements are the next step in preparing Savannah for the future. Along with five new container berths on the way, the new Gainesville Inland Port, and multiple Georgia DOT projects, the pieces are all coming together in Savannah as the gateway of choice for the Southeast.”
