The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has approved a permit for Georgia Ports Authority's (GPA) Savannah Container Terminal after a three-year review process.
The GPA will now proceed with the next steps in the development of its planned 3.5 million 20-foot-equivalent unit (TEU) capacity container terminal on Hutchison Island in Savannah. Construction is expected to begin in January 2028, with a completion date in the mid 2030s, GPA officials said in a press release.
The 350-acre facility will cost about $2.3 billion and is the next step in the authority's infrastructure investment and renovation program, which also includes the ongoing $1.6 billion capacity upgrade at the Port of Savannah's Ocean Terminal. That project is expected to be completed by the end of 2028 and will increase the terminal's capacity from 200,000 TEUs to 1.75 million TEUs annually.
CSX, Norfolk Southern Railway and the Savannah Port Terminal Railroad serve the port.
