GARDEN CITY TERMINAL: TECHNOLOGY


The Georgia Ports Authority has long been renowned as a true innovator in developing state-of-the-art systems and technology to enhance container r terminal operations, peed the flow of cargo and bring direct benefits and costsavings to port users.
An acronym for the Automated Cargo Terminal Information and Operations Network, transACTION is the backbone of all container operations throughout the Port of Savannah. But it is far more than a simple software system: the total transACTION system is comprised of hardware, software, data communication networks and personnel sharing information.
The container cargo computer system is completely menu-driven for transactions associated with vessel operations, truck and rail arrivals/departures,

government release information, equipment orders, inventory displays, and unit activities and user profiles.
transACTION tracks and drives cargo through the terminal with ease and serves as your customer service agent. cargo expediter, equipment control data input clerk and
equipment control dispatcher. transACTION was designed in
cooperation with the entire maritime community. It is also a live system, constantly updated with additional modules and
enhancements to ensure the smooth flow of cargo.
The Port of Savannah was one of the first ports in the U. S. South Atlantic range to successfully implement advanced Radio Frequency Technology (RF) to upgrade terminal operations and heighten customer service.



GAR D E

CITY TERM I AL: GAINI G EVERY ADVA TAGE EVERY TIME

The multifunctional computer terminals provide tenninal crews with the ability to verify and record all operations in real-time through direct RF access to the port's mainframe computer system.
RF units can be found aboard container handling equipment, yard truck and field operations vehicles.
In addition to increased efficiency in tenninal services, port users benefit through the elimination of redundant manual input efforts and time-consuming input backlogs, greatly reducing the amount of daily paperwork.

change system, which eliminates co tly traffic delays.
Now any truck can use any available lane to enter or leave the tenninal. Inbound and outbound traffic i monitored at all times and adju tments are made immediately to open, close or reverse lanes as needed to expedite cargo.
Expenses are pooled and shared by port users based on gate utilization, so per unit costs are cut and efficiency and productivity are raised.
In a recent study of trucker's average tum-around times (gate-to-gate), truckers utilizing Garden City Tenninal's interchange system averaged 25 minutes for the movement of a container into or out of the facility and 50 minutes for the movement of a container in and another container out. This compares to 1.5 hours to 3 hours respectively for other South Atlantic ports.

One of the most remarkable service



enhancements in recent years at

Container B e r t h 8
Development of Containerport' eighth container berth (CB-8) is in the advanced planning stages. The construction of the 83 acre (33.6 h ctar ) facility with 1,700 ft (518.2 m) of berthing is at a point where cu tom rs can directly influence the trategic elements of the terminal design, giving port u er the opportunity to tailor the terminal to m et their sp cific need.
Like Garden City Terminal's even exi ting container berth CB-8 will be equipped with an ample supply of state-

of-the-art cargo handling equipment and technology.
Intermodal Container Transfer Facility The only on-terminal fntermodal Container Tran fer Facility (rCTF) on the U.S. Ea t Coast will soon be con tructed a part of Gard n City Terminal. Spanning nearly 150 acre (60.7 hectare ), the rCTF will include 4,000 ft (1,219.2 m) of lead track, room for expanion and additional area for container storage and mar haling. With direct rail connection and room for 8,000 ft (2,438.4 m) unit trains. port customers can accrue ub. tantial aving through the rCTF for cargo moving via two Class I rail providers beyond a radius of 250 miles (402.3 km).

The wide scope and effectiveness of the Port of avannah' intermodal connection can be found in the number . Begin with more than 100 motor carrier providing container, truckload, LTL and reefer, unitized or general cargo ervice to and from the Port of Savannah, giving port u ers next-day ervice everywh re within
500 mile (804.7 km) of Savannah.

INTERMODAL CAPABILITIES
Add to those numbers immediate access to two major interstate highways directly connected to the Port of Savannah1-95 south to Florida and north to Maine, and 1-16 to Macon, Atlanta and points north and west. The direct links speed cargo on four-lane superhighways that bypass the movement of cargo through congested city traffic.
Then multiply your intermodal options by two Class 1 railroads - CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Railroad - which utilize the Port of Savannah as a major loading/unloading ramp, giving port users unparalleled rail connections throughout the Southeastern and Midwestern United States. There are no unusual limitations to the physical transportation of containers to and from the Port of Savannah. The railroads have clearances

Rail purs service each container berth and dual tracks traverse the entire length of the docks - more than 3 miles (4.8 km) of track for on-dock rail operation. Your intermodal cargo moves out quickly with no need for expensive, time-consuming dray to remote terminals and locations.
Intermodal cargo moves through Containerport even smoother with the

PORT OF SAVANNAH: FOREIGN TRADE ZONES & INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT

Georgia's Gateway to the World Port users can take advantage of many opportunities found in Foreign Trade Zone 104.
Comprised of four sites, Foreign Trade Zone 104 encompasses a 50,000 ft2 (4,645.2 m2) warehouse and 28 acres (11.3 hectares) on the Savannah International Airport's property, 1,750 acres (708.2 hectares) located at the Crossroad Business Center, near the airport off 1-95, and 600 acres (242.8 hectares) at the Savannah Port Authority Industrial Park conveniently near the intersection of Highway 80 and 1-95. The newest site, added in 1997, consists of 400,800 ft2 (37,235.5 m2) of covered storage and 1.5 acres (.6 hectares) of outside storage at Garden City Terminal.
Foreign Trade Zones, which attract and promote international trade and

commerce, are specially designated areas where domestic and foreign merchandise can be placed with formal customs entry
and without payment of duty.
It is only when goods are shipped out of the zone into the United States that the company is required to pay duty. Merchandise sent out of the zone into foreign commerce is duty free. While Foreign Trade Zone 104 fulfills its mission to expand Georgia's international trade activities and stimulate growth, the Georgia Ports Authority has wide reaching impact on Georgia's economic development, as well.
For example, the Authority directly employees more than 750 Georgians. But Authority operations statewide, together with port related industries, account for more than 80,100 jobs, with revenue surpassing

$23 billion, income exceeding $1.8 billion, and state and local taxes of $585 million. And, Authority operations are financially self-sufficient.
That means better roads, more schools, reduced taxes and a better quality of life for Georgia's residents.
The presence of two deepwater ports in Savannah and Brunswick,
combined with the efficiencies of two inland terminals in Bainbridge and Columbus, are strong enticements for expanding or attracting new business to Georgia.
