SAVANNAH | The top executive over Georgia's seaports in Savannah and Brunswick said Monday he expects another record-breaking fiscal year following a busy spring in which East Coast ports benefited from a labor dispute on the West Coast.
The Georgia Ports Authority handled 2.84 million tons of total cargo in April, a month that saw a whopping 335,900 cargo containers move through the Port of Savannah — an increase of nearly 26 percent from April 2014. That's the most tonnage and container volume Georgia ports have ever seen in a single month, and March was almost as busy.
