Growth and Economic Significance of the Georgia Ports
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp emphasized the role of the state’s ports as a key driver of economic growth. „Georgia’s ports have played a crucial role in reaching new heights in recent years under Griff Lynch’s leadership,“ Kemp said. He expressed confidence that Price will continue this approach to meet the needs of Georgia’s citizens.
Kevin Price himself stated that the long-term strategy of the Georgia Ports regarding employees, customers, and infrastructure investments represents critical competitive advantages. „I look forward to working closely with Griff, the board, and the employees of Georgia Ports to further build on our future momentum and success,“ Price said.
Griff Lynch, President and CEO of the Georgia Ports Authority, also spoke positively about Price’s appointment. „I am very pleased to welcome Kevin to our team. This is a significant win for Georgia Ports and only strengthens us further. He is an experienced industry expert with extensive knowledge of terminal operations and strong relationships in Savannah and beyond,“ Lynch said.
The Georgia Ports in Savannah and Brunswick are considered strategic hubs that create one of the most competitive supply chains in the country through their operations and connectivity. The Port of Savannah is one of the best-connected ports in the U.S., with 39 vessel calls per week and 14,000 truck movements daily. The Port of Brunswick is the leading RoRo port in the U.S. for the logistics of automobiles and machinery.
In the next ten years, the Georgia Ports Authority plans to invest $4.5 billion to construct five new large ship berths in Savannah and a fourth berth in Brunswick. Over the past ten years, $3.2 billion has already been invested in infrastructure improvements.
