Containerised trade at the Port of Savannah in the US rose 12% in 2020 while roll-on/roll-off trade at the Port of Brunswick rose 37.6%. The George Ports Authority, which runs both, said rail cargo using the Garden City Terminal in Savannah had outpaced its overall container growth with a 35% increase. Now the Authority is planning what it says will be the largest port rail facility in North America, the Mason Mega Rail Terminal, which is set to start working in September.
