Georgia is the nation’s seventh largest importing state and 11th largest exporting state due to the ports. Port operations support manufacturing and foster growth of Savannah’s logistic, distribution and warehousing industries. The Port of Savannah is the fourth largest and fastest-growing container port in the U.S. The ports support almost 36,000 jobs in the Savannah MSA [metropolitan statistical area] and more than 369,000 jobs statewide.
