The Port of Savannah has added four new electric ship-to-shore cranes, expanding Ocean Terminal’s fleet to eight Super Post Panamax cranes. Designed by Finland-based Konecranes, these machines will enable the terminal to service two vessels simultaneously once they are fully commissioned and berth construction is complete.
While Ocean Terminal remains open and fully operational, it is currently undergoing significant renovations. One key component of the infrastructure improvements includes a $29 million exit ramp project approved by the Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) board. Now 70% complete, this new ramp will connect trucks directly to major highways, allowing uninterrupted travel to Atlanta without a single traffic light. Designed with the surrounding community in mind, the ramp will divert container trucks from local roads.
The new cranes and the ongoing enhancements to both terminal infrastructure and transportation access will significantly enhance the efficiency of operations at the terminal.
