The growth statistics are at the same time both extremely impressive and contrary to the norm. While other U.S. ports posted moderate growth to actual declines in calendar year 2007, Savannah grew by a robust 20.6%, increasing container throughput to 2.6 million TEUs. These figures stand out particularly in the U.S. South Atlantic Range where in 2007 neighboring ports saw volumes drop by 7.6% to 10.9%.
Notwithstanding economic conditions and the position of the U.S. dollar, Savannah continued to buck the trend during Fiscal Year 2008 (July 1, 2007 to June 30, 2008). Savannah outperformed

other ports with its container increases. As recently as October 2006, the GPA attained its first 200,000-TEU month. In Fiscal Year 2008, that level was achieved in each of the 12 months.
This success extends throughout GPA's terminal network, including Bainbridge, Brunswick and Columbus. During calendar year 2007, combined traffic through these facilities reached nearly 26 million tons, representing a 17.5% increase over the previous year. While traditional import flows from Asia continue to predominate, a surge in exports and the emergence of new trade lanes and partner markets contributed heavily.

Written by John Powers
Specifically, outbound shipments to the Mediterranean increased substantially, and two-way traffic with the Indian Subcontinent mushroomed.
At the heart of GPA's success story was a decision made a decade and a half ago to entice major import distribution centers to Savannah. The Georgia Ports Authority presented a compelling case based upon population concentrations and projections, infrastructure, access to consumers, transit costs and times and availability of port-proximate, developable land. The fruits of this strategy bear names such as The Home Depot, Pier 1 Imports,

10

GPA Ports Guide & Directory 2009

Wal-Mart, Lowe's, Heineken, Hasbro, Avon, IKEA and Target.
In the classic logistics chickenegg scenario, ocean carriers in large numbers were compelled by these major shippers to offer frequent, shortest-transit services via Savannah. In short order, additional distribution center operators added multiple, competitive ocean transportation options to the list of good reasons to do business through the Savannah gateway. In a more recent trend, warehouse operators and third-party logistics providers have created a construction boom targeting small-medium shippers, as well as larger importers disinclined to invest in bricks and mortar.
Further contributing to the port's

popularity among ocean carriers is Savannah's unique balance of import and export traffic. Where equipment imbalances and lengthy drays of empty containers are the order of the day in many locations, Savannah offers ocean carriers the ability to optimize usage and profitability.
A more recent development in Savannah's ocean carrier portfolio is the emergence of all-water services between the port and Asia via the Suez Canal. As manufacturers have looked further west in Asia for low-cost production centers, a whole new series of freight origins have emerged - Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and even points in the Middle East, to name a few. Ocean miles and ease of canal

transit make the Suez a logical alternative to traditional routing via the Panama Canal. At the close of 2008, seven Savannah carriers added Suez services to their sailings, with 21 carrier options calling Asia via both canals.
Volumes approaching 3 million TEUs leave no room for error on the terminal operations side of the equation. Savannah has responded with its ultra-sophisticated Garden City Terminal, an integrated, singlelocation facility that is the nation's largest. Its vital statistics read 1,200 acres, nearly 10,000 linear feet of berthing and nine berths. A total of 19 container cranes (4 more to arrive during first quarter 2009) permit multi-craning and optimize turnaround for the 1,600-plus container vessels calling Savannah annually.
Doug Marchand, GPA executive director, points to the singleterminal concept as a key edge for the port, "In this respect, Savannah is unique among container ports on the U.S. East and Gulf coasts. Being a single entity gives us complete control over our ports and cargo operations and enables us to be more proactive in our marketing and sales efforts. We can market the port as a single entity, which more easily integrates with our shippers' supply chains."
The GPA has long understood its position in the supply chain. Positioned near its center, the GPA enjoys perhaps the clearest view of its diverse components from origin to destination, and has long taken an active role in helping design and implement partnerships to optimize its fluidity.
As long as three decades ago, Savannah pioneered the

development of a close relationship between terminal operators and labor. Where historically a counter productive relationship existed in U.S. ports, the GPA aggressively involved labor and stevedoring interests in processes as diverse as terminal design, optimization of operations, automation and solicitation of ocean carriers and customers.
The process continues. "We are unusual insofar as we have established close relationships with more parts of the supply chain than most terminal operators, to discuss their needs and problems, as well as improve our operations and service levels. These include not only our ocean carrier customers, but also shippers, 3PL's, warehouse operators, freight forwarders and customs brokers, governmental entities and developers. We

12

GPA Ports Guide & Directory 2009

facilitate communication among these parties and rely upon them to help us build a better port," observes Marchand.
The Georgia Ports Authority has stood by its commitment to customer and partner communications with a unique organizational initiative, its Client Relations Center (CRC). Gordon Hammer, GPA general manager of CRC explains, "With a dedicated team of nine, all of whom have a wide range of operational experience, we provide a single point of contact for the customer on all port issues. We receive calls with requests on multiple subjects such as prices, rates and shipment status. By providing a centralized repository for all such inquiries, we are able to resolve issues and the most expedient manner and develop strategies to prevent their recurrence."
Client Relations Center personnel access the GPA's realtime, internet-based information resource, WebAccess to execute their mission (webaccess. gaports.com). This comprehensive terminal operation and location system provides staff, as well as customers, with the immediate information they require to expedite responses to incoming inquiries on a 24/7 basis. In addition to shipment location and status, they are able to retrieve particulars on ship schedules, equipment availability, Customs clearance status and other critical shipment benchmarks.
The GPA's global focus on strategic partnerships is reflected in the list of entities with whom formal, and informal, agreements have been struck. Among these are the Shanghai International Port Group,

the Sydney Ports Corporation, the Port of Shimizu, Yantian International Container Terminals, Modern Terminals, the Suez Canal Authority, and the Panama Canal Authority.
BY ANY YARDSTICK
By any standard of measurement, Savannah must prepare itself for continued growth. Container

throughput capacity at Garden City Terminal is expected to rise from 3.2 to 6.5 million TEUs by 2015. Daily truck traffic at its interchange gates will increase from 7,000 to 19,000 moves per day. The challenge will be accommodating the surge within the existing terminal footprint.

long-term strategic development plan, FOCUS 2015. This master plan provides a series of detailed strategies for accommodating the projected influx of freight volumes: Deepening of the Savannah harbor channel from a present depth of 42 feet MLW to 48 feet MLW to accommodate 8,000 TEU vessels by 2013. This undertaking is timed to precede the anticipated completion of Panama Canal expansion. Upgrading and reinforcement of existing container berths. The addition of a fourth interchange gate, Gate 8. Installation of eight additional super post-Panamax cranes. Installation of additional reefer racks for containers transporting temperature-sensitive cargoes. Paving of an additional 70 acres of storage contiguous to container berths eight and nine. Addition of 57 rubber-tired gantry cranes to bring the total fleet to 117. Doubling of rail trackage served by Norfolk Southern Railroad at the James D. Mason Intermodal Container Transfer Facility (ICTF) to 40,000 feet, supported by 79 acres of paved marshaling area. Opening of the Chatham ICTF (December 2008), providing

another 20,000 feet of on-terminal trackage for working and storing unit trains. The terminal's second ICTF is served by CSX Transportation. Construction of a "Cargo Beltway" to accelerate commercial traffic between the terminal and major interstate arteries. These limited access roads will connect direct to Interstate 16, a highprofile artery for distribution centers and the primary corridor connecting the port to Atlanta. Additionally, these roads will funnel terminal traffic directly to and from Interstate 95, the primary surface conduit for the U.S. Eastern Seaboard.
FOCUS 2015 is by no means a static document. Economic forecasts, customer needs, and growth rates in excess of initial projections have already resulted in compression of timetables for completion of projects and equipment acquisitions, and more may be in the offing. In addition, upon the near optimization of Garden City Terminal in 2018 the GPA has additional site options along the Savannah River that will serve to build and grow Savannah's container traffic well into the 21st century.

These ambitious expansion plans will demand the combined resources and influence of the Port of Savannah's many partners. From the railroad's perspective, Augie Eckhardt, market manager international of Norfolk Southern Railroad explains the necessary synergy, "We anticipate that container volumes moving through all of the East Coast ports, and especially Savannah, will continue to show strong growth over the next several years. Norfolk Southern continues to work with ports to ensure we are offering the best service possible. Continual port involvement in developing infrastructure and working with inland transportation providers, as well as local communities and the logistics community, has been and will continue to be the key to meeting the demand."
In a word, "sustained". A history of sustained growth resilient to cargo fluctuations in other ports. Partnerships forged and sustained by a track record of mutual progress and benefit. A sustained, enduring commitment to do all of things to make Savannah the de-facto port-ofchoice for shippers, carriers and logistics providers.

Nothing else helps a port build its ocean carrier roster like consistently delivering balanced trade. Fourteen years ago, however, the Port of Savannah dealt predominantly in exports. From the twin desires to build a more balanced trade and entice additional ocean

carriers sprang a distribution center (DC) strategy which has played a major part in propelling Savannah to the number four position among U.S. ports. Having achieved balanced trade for more than a decade, 220-plus distribution centers call Georgia home.

Written by John Powers
John Wheeler, the Georgia Port Authority's (GPA's) director of trade development explained, "Our distribution center strategy began over a decade ago. The GPA, together with the Savannah Economic Development Authority (SEDA), pushed the drive to

increase imports via this port for the establishment of DC's, to enable us to have more empty containers available for the export market. There were already a number of large distribution centers in Atlanta, but only a few near Savannah."
"The DC business here started with SEDA's development of the Crossroads Industrial Park, about 5 miles from Garden City Terminal. The Home Depot and Pier 1 Imports already operated facilities in the area, and they were the catalyst for more retailers to come to Savannah, including announcements by Dollar Tree and Lowe's."
GPA underscored its commitment to economic development several years ago with the establishment of a department to manage its developmental agenda. Stacy Watson, who heads the effort on the GPA's behalf, discusses the mission. "Site selection decisions for distribution center operators are driven by unique considerations of land availability, labor, local and state incentives, and, of course, port proximity. We work with development authorities, private land owners, realtors and transportation firms to assemble a compelling argument for a location close to Savannah. We interact with both privately-held distribution centers and third-party logistics providers (3PL's) to build our DC complex."
Wheeler elaborates, "We're working with the authorities in all the counties through which Interstate16 passes, twelve total, to help promote their industrial and commercial space near the interstate. We're seeing a migration of DC's further inland from the port,

because companies are sourcing goods domestically as well as internationally. Larger labor pools in Atlanta, as well as neighboring cities like Macon, have traditionally played to their favor. Furthermore, Georgia's "Tier 1" counties have been targeted by the state of Georgia for additional economic incentives. Partly due to such initiatives, Wal-Mart has 2 million

square feet in Statesboro / Bulloch County and Academy Sports + Outdoors has a 1.2 million square foot facility in Twiggs County."
The fruits of the strategy are readily apparent in Savannah's immediate hinterland and beyond. The roster of private operators includes household names like Bass Pro Shops, Kmart-Sears, Heineken, and Best Buy to name

a few. More recently, Target, IKEA, Hasbro, Petco, Dorel, and Avon have joined the lineup of Georgia DC's.
3PL's are participating in the surge as well. Heineken established a distribution operation under an agreement with Satellite Logistics, a third-party logistics provider, working in conjunction with Port City Logistics. Port City Logistics already maintains 400,000 square feet of warehouse and distribution space locally, and spiraling demand led them to contract for additional square footage in 2008. Also in 2008, Alexander & Baldwin, parent company of Matson Navigation, purchased a one million square foot distribution facility in Savannah. The majority of the space has been sub-leased to its subsidiary Matson Global

Distribution Services to receive and distribute imports on behalf of Hasbro.
Billy Robinson, chief executive officer of Port City Logistics, observes that the time is right for 3PL providers in Savannah. "The GPA's decision to be experts at container handling and not at distribution services has created significant opportunities for 3PL's. Customers shipping through Savannah now have multiple options if, in fact, they don't want their own bricks and mortar. In addition, with the price of oil remaining uncertain, many companies are deconsolidating containers at a port city 3PL warehouse instead of trucking them to inland DC's for deconsolidation. In many cases, freight is actually passing the same location twice before

being delivered. If you can deconsolidate at the port and distribute from there, you eliminate the chance of this happening."
Freight volumes traversing Georgia distribution centers have been the primary factor in insulating Savannah from the larger slowdowns being experienced in other U.S. ports. U.S. West Coast traffic has declined and projections call for the trend to continue. Results along the U.S. East and Gulf coasts are, at best, mixed. By contrast, Savannah's container throughput grew at a rate of 20.7% in 2007, rising to 2.6 million TEU's (2008 not available at the time of publication).
Billy Robinson details the multiple factors that have created a "perfect storm" for propelling Savannah's continued success.

"First is GPA's ability to market our port and the surrounding area to `big box retailers'. Even in a down economy, the big box guys still have to supply their stores. That means ocean carriers have to keep calling. Georgia is blessed with abundant resources such as wood products, kaolin, and poultry products to name a few. A 50-50 balance of import to export is attractive to all parties. My experience is that service rates on the West Coast and in the Northeast are considerably higher than Savannah's. I have heard customers comment that they can't afford not to be in Savannah. Among U.S. ports, Savannah's in / out turn-time ranks among the best in the nation. Immediate access to the Interstate system: I-95 north /

south and I-16 east / west. Access to the airport. 2 Class-1 rail options located on-terminal Overall population growth in the Southeast U.S. equals greater demand for products and services. A commitment from the State of Georgia with regard to infrastructure improvements to increase container capacity and road systems."
In addition to its excellent surface highway network, Savannah has relied heavily on its on-terminal intermodal rail operations to fuel its success. In conjunction with the two Class 1 railroads serving the port, Norfolk Southern Railroad and CSX Transportation, the GPA is expanding capacity to accommodate anticipated increases in both import and export volumes.
A twofold strategy is in place.

The partners seek to bolster bi-directional traffic between Savannah and Midwest locations such as Chicago, Louisville and Cincinnati. Consumer goods will top the list of inbound hauls with agri-products and manufactured goods predominating on the outbound leg. Secondly, they will seek to increase shorter haul traffic to and from the U.S. Southeast. Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee are among the targeted states. Additionally, westward expansions into Dallas and New Orleans are developing more and more in Savannah's favor.
With intermodal volumes growing as fast as the overall port traffic in Savannah, rail infrastructure development remains a top priority. With a keen focus on on-terminal rail, the GPA's long-term strategic

plan calls for the doubling of the size of the James D. Mason Intermodal Container Transfer Facility's (ICTF) trackage to 40,000 feet. Served by Norfolk Southern Railroad, the Mason ICTF isn't Savannah's only on-terminal rail advantage. A second intermodal facility, the Chatham ICTF, was completed in December 2008. Served by CSX Transportation, the Chatham ICTF provides 20,000 feet of track for the working and storage of unit trains.
Augie Eckhardt, market manager international of Norfolk Southern
Railroad details the advantages that an on-terminal ICTF provides for Savannah's shippers. "The ICTF terminal provides for a seamless flow of traffic between the marine terminal and rail service. As volumes moving through the

Port of Savannah continue to grow, so will the importance of this direct, on-dock service by offering shippers greater options for moving cargo inland, and reducing the need for inland destined units to dwell on the marine terminal."
Eckhardt points out that distribution center operators are primary beneficiaries of improved intermodal performance. "Rail plays a vital role for the DC community by providing them with a cost-effective means to serve more markets such as Chicago, Dallas, Memphis and even Los Angeles. As the number of import shipments arriving East Coast port locations such as Savannah continues to grow, more and more shippers will take advantage of the DC infrastructure. Having a good inland intermodal service allows

them to increase their utilization of the existing DC infrastructure without sacrificing service or cost for delivering trans-loaded cargo."
Savannah's DC future? More of the same...much more. Another 1.2 million square feet of portproximate warehousing and distribution space was reported under construction in 2008. In addition, another 20,000,000 square feet is planned in the land belt between 5 to 30 miles from Garden City Terminal. The list of prominent commercial and industrial developers focusing on Savannah include A & B Properties, AMB Property Corp., Center Point Properties, Dermody Properties, Johnson Development, McDonald Development, and Solution Property Group. Fortunately, Savannah's hinterland affords these companies with a wide array of site options.
This DC construction surge and ongoing infrastructure development are clear indicators of the industrywide optimism that Savannah's strength and recognition as "Port Retail" will continue. Eckhardt summarizes, "We anticipate that container volumes moving through Savannah will continue to show strong growth over the next several years. Continual port involvement in developing infrastructure and working with inland transportation providers, as well as local communities and the logistics community, has been and will continue to be the key to meeting the demand."

If international business is anything, it's a challenging roadmap full of zigs and zags that require thinking outside the box and a clear-headed, solution-driven approach toward clearing the hurdles that crop up on an almost daily basis.
Yet despite its dynamism, some basic rules that will never change and will always apply are some of the most important if not the most important. We're talking about the creation and maintenance of long-term positive customer relations.
"Taking a proactive approach toward serving our customers by offering them a customer-centric

tool that helps them grow their business is the best way to create customer loyalty," says Gordon Hammer, general manager of the Georgia Ports Authority's Client Relations Center (CRC).
That tool is the Georgia Ports Authority's Client Relations Center (CRC), the only operation of its kind at any port in the entire country.
A front-line, problem-solving communications tool, the CRC was created in 2001 to offer a single, reliable point of contact for customers cargo owners, as well as various port departments who need assistance in dealing with service, cargo coordination and issue resolution matters.

While the majority of the CRC's efforts have been centered on the container operations at the GPA's Garden City Terminal in Savannah the 4th largest container port in the United States the center's goal is to expand its operations to include other cargo segments at the Port of Brunswick and Savannah's Ocean Terminal.
Fielding an average of 600 customer calls every day, the CRC staff researches and disseminates the information on everything from ocean carrier release, gate transactions, payment issues, pick-up/delivery verification, process improvement, U.S. Customs and Agriculture inspection status, and general problem resolution "to maintain the steady flow of cargo moving seamlessly through the port."
In addition to telephone and

22

GPA Ports Guide & Directory 2009

e-mail queries, a significant number of contacts are made through the Georgia Ports Authority's Navis System, where a link to the CRC gives customers with their own personal log-on code and password the opportunity to build their own cargo report utilizing real-time information on vessel schedules, equipment availability, manifests, terminal conditions, booking details, and the yard position of their container cargo.
"Customers have options," says Hammer. "They'll leave if they're not pleased with the service they're receiving. That's why it's more important than ever to ramp up the extra effort to help them with whatever problems are keeping them from efficiently moving their cargo. The satisfaction level among the people we've helped is very high."
Very high, indeed. A recent independent survey made up of email, phone calls and face to face interviews was given to companies that have used the CRC. It drew a remarkable 35 percent return with 98 percent of those who responded saying that they were "very satisfied" with the CRC.
One such "very satisfied" customer is Castle & Cooke Logistics, formerly Inland Cold Storage, which handles 300 containers a month of canned goods and food products imported from Asia and Central America for mega-national food giant Dole.
"The CRC was one of the major reasons we've decided to make Savannah our Southeast U.S. distribution hub," says Richard Sutton, general manager at Castle & Cooke Logistics.

The company operates a 180,000-square foot warehouse at the port and has announced plans to develop an additional 200,000square feet of refrigerated space.
"We have 25 trucks moving products every day that are sold in stores like Wal-Mart, Kroger, and Sam's Club in six Southeast states," says Sutton. "The CRC has helped on several occasions by

untying the knots that occasionally happen in the system from tracking down wayward documentation to helping arrange timely Department of Agriculture inspections. We see them as a real partner in helping us serve our customers better."
The CRC, he says, "has made all the difference."

"We have enough experience in working with site selectors and the State's development authorities to understand the information needs most relevant to our customers," stated GPA executive director Doug J. Marchand. "The Georgia's Commercial Corridors Tool provides a one-stop, easy-to-use on-line resource product for a comprehensive, up to the minute look at the wealth of port-dependent options available along the corridors touching Georgia's ports."
At present, the tool concentrates on the I-16, I-95, US-341, and the Savannah River Parkway corridors. By simply clicking on any corridor, on-line users get a definitive look at each county's capabilities.
"Developing the Georgia Commercial Corridors Tool has not only given the GPA an asset unique to our operations, it has also allowed the GPA to reach out in a proactive manner to connect corridor counties with port customers to create growth opportunities at the port and within each respective county," stated GPA manager of economic and industrial development Stacy Watson. "Using the four corridors identified in the tool's first phase development made the

most sense in relation to our marketing objectives and the needs of our customers. As these corridors develop, we'll be expanding the tool and our initiatives to incorporate other portions of the state. That's not to say we aren't active in counties outside of these corridors. We work proactively with counties throughout the state to identify opportunities tied to our operations."
Once the corridor and county are selected, information is broken down into three sections-County overview and demographics, Properties and Buildings. The information provided includes a summary of the county's demographics, available properties, buildings available for immediate occupancy and BEST port incentives.
"This Corridor initiative implemented by the GPA will help promote Dodge County to industries looking to manufacture in our state and see the logistics

assets we have tied via Georgia's ports. Another key point of this program has been the help the GPA has provided the counties comprising "The 341 Alliance". Today we have a better understanding of port capabilities in Savannah and Brunswick, as well as the mentality of port-users looking to invest in our area. This partnership will allow us to jointly work with the GPA to target and locate industries to our corridor that will be customers of the port, while creating untold jobs throughout the region. This relationship has also afforded the GPA an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the assets of the communities comprising the Alliance," said Josh Fenn, president of 341 Alliance, CEO Eastman-Dodge County Development Authority.
In addition to the 341 Alliance, a second corridor alliance, the I-16 Alliance, has emerged with similar goals to forge opportunities in conjunction with Georgia's ports.

"Any business we bring in along the corridor helps people through the creation of jobs and opportunities," said Judy Sherling, executive director of the JeffersonvilleTwiggs Economic Development Authority and president of the alliance. "The mission of the I-16 Alliance is to grow, promote and enhance the economic development opportunities along Georgia's I-16 corridor through the synergies of joint innovation, information exchange, marketing and partnerships. As a direct artery serving the Port of Savannah, we've found we operate with a distinct advantage. We enjoy our relationship with the GPA and look forward to the business that we are confident will follow."

Savannah is known worldwide for its annual St. Patrick's Day festival where the entire city becomes a sea of green. Environmental initiatives underway at the Georgia Ports Authority are intended to make "greening" a year-round event.
"The environmental discussions that dominate global political and social agendas have certainly found their way into the logistics sector," notes Steve Green, chairman of the Georgia Ports Authority Board of Directors. He adds, "Several years ago, quietly and without fanfare, the Authority adopted a policy to recycle and reuse materials whenever possible. In fact, in

every aspect of our operations we have moved to operate in a more environmentally friendly fashion and become a leader in green initiatives."
As far back as six years ago, the GPA made the decision to convert all of its container cranes from diesel to electric power. That undertaking was completed in 2008, and 17 of Savannah's 19 ship-to-shore cranes today run exclusively on electric power. By second quarter 2009, with the introduction of additional container cranes, 21 all-electric cranes will transit the Garden City Terminal's 9,693 feet of continuous berthing. Crane electrification is expected to

Written by John Powers
conserve more than 1.5 million tons of diesel fuel annually while eliminating the release of several hundreds of tons emissions such as nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide and other particulates.
Design specifications for new equipment being acquired incorporate the latest in available green technologies. Curtis Foltz, GPA's chief operations officer cites one example, "GPA's four newest ship-to-shore electric cranes, which became operational in June 2008, generate approximately 30% of their total energy requirements by tapping into the power of gravity and kinetic energy. Every time a crane operator lowers a container,

the hoist motor reverses direction and becomes an electric generator. For every hour that one of these cranes is operational, it uses its own power for approximately 12 minutes."
Yard operations are also receiving "green" attention. A process of densification has streamlined movement of containers among storage stacks, trucks and container flatcars. Introduction of technologies such as GPS and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) have dramatically improved the efficiency of tracking, locating and retrieving both containers and chassis domiciled at the Garden City Terminal. The resulting reduction in on-terminal emissions from over-the-road and yard equipment is expected to be substantial.
Finally, the GPA continues to replace top-lifts with rubber-tired

gantry cranes (RTG), providing a further reduction in the generation of undesirable particulates. During 2009 alone, 11 new RTG's will be introduced to the Garden City Terminal. Equipped with energy saving devices, the newest generation of RTG's is projected to reduce fuel consumption by 35% to 40% per unit.
In June of 2008, the GPA began powering its yard fleet with cleaner burning, ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel. This measure alone is projected to cut emissions by 10%. Green observes, "The conversion to ultra-low-sulfur diesel, two years before the federal mandate, is another example of our commitment to making substantial environmental improvements. Reducing consumption and emissions are a powerful combination in

our ongoing mission to be good stewards of the environment."
Foltz summarizes the combined effect of these initiatives in the container yard, "As a result of these programs, the GPA has dramatically reduced its reliance on diesel fuel. For example in 2002, 1.44 gallons of diesel were required to move one TEU, compared with .89 gallons today, a 38.2% reduction of total diesel consumption."
Recycling provides the Port of Savannah with a further opportunity to improve its green footprint. Continuing on a path to reuse material whenever possible, the renovation of container berth 2 in 2008 provided GPA with the opportunity to put the new guidelines into practice. The project, which involved the rejuvenation of

approximately 24 acres of existing terminal space, was completed using 12,200 tons of recycled material. This process eliminated the negative environmental consequences associated with quarrying and transporting stone for the facility upgrade. Foltz adds, "The emissions reduction from this project alone was an estimated 56 pounds of carbon dioxide and 31 pounds of nitrous oxide."
The GPA's burgeoning import/export trade in refrigerated cargoes has also received environmental attention. Recently installed reefer container racks, accommodating 816 containers, use shore power. The new rack system eliminates the cost and environmental implications of employing diesel power sources to maintain temperature sensitive cargoes. Additional racks are scheduled for introduction in 2010.
Green initiatives carry simultaneous margin implications for the GPA. Green explains, "We've made environmental sensitivity a core element of our business plan because we wholeheartedly embrace our responsibility to balance good business with good corporate citizenship. First, it is simply the right thing to do. Second, we are finding that the same technologies and processes that reduce our environmental impacts, result in efficiencies that drop directly to our bottom line...a classic win-win situation."

The Port of Brunswick is literally driving ahead of the competition.
In fiscal year 2008 (July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008), the Port of Brunswick handled 353,000 vehicles and more than 15,400 pieces of heavy industrial equipment to rank among the largest and most productive roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) ports in the United States. Ranked as the 6th largest auto port in volume in the country, Brunswick's RoRo activities are centered on Colonel's Island, one of the nation's biggest auto import/export operations.
"Our service profile is based upon our facilities being strategically located to meet the needs of our

Written by Michael D. White

customers. Each of the key amenities that carriers and manufacturers require in a strategic port partner is present. We have the land, the location, the labor and the links. Unlike other terminal operations that cater to an array of cargo segments, we have a keen focus on RoRo. A majority of U.S. ports lack the necessary land to expand; however, 850 acres of the terminal's 1,700 acre footprint are available for development with the flexibility to accommodate the diverse needs of the market. These key selling points summarize the strength of our success," stated GPA's manager of trade development Bill Jakubsen.

Three modern RoRo berths and five on-terminal auto processors at the Colonel's Island AutoPort Facility serve the needs of a stellar list of 20 auto manufacturers and a host of industrial and agricultural equipment makers.
"With 36 feet of channel depth, plus a tidal range of seven plus feet of additional water twice daily, we far exceed the depth requirements necessary to handle the world's largest auto carriers. From a rail and interstate standpoint, geographically we're positioned to service manufacturing and distribution centers that serve 80% of the U.S. auto purchasing public," added Jakubsen.

30

GPA Ports Guide & Directory 2009

One of the most active of the auto giants present at the port is Mercedes-Benz, which, several years ago, selected Brunswick as their South Atlantic export hub for vehicles manufactured at their $330 million plant in Vance, Alabama. The company exports an average of 80,000 vehicles through Brunswick every year. Further reinforcing their commitment to the Port of Brunswick, MercedesBenz has committed to the development of a 50-acre parcel on the south side of Colonel's Island to construct a new vehicle processing center, or VPC, for the processing of imported vehicles.
The front gate of the Colonel's

Island AutoPort Facility is strategically located just 2.5 miles from Interstate 95, the country's major north-south artery linking Brunswick with major points along the U.S. East and Gulf coasts, as well as the Midwest. Rail access serving Brunswick has been significantly enhanced with more than $13 million of improvements. This investment has expanded the port's rail capacity to handle 60-car unit trains operated by CSX Transportation and Norfolk Southern Railroad. The Colonel's Island AutoPort Facility is poised to further expand unit train opportunities to and from the Gulf, Midwest and West Coast.

Brunswick has set the bar high for the competition, says John Wheeler, the GPA's director of trade development.
The port "has the strategic position, world-class facilities, and the extensive rail and highway connections that make it the most attractive base of operations for global companies that demand an efficiently operated and maintained deepwater terminal to handle their shipments."
Brunswick, he says, "has it all."

After many years of hard work and considerable resolve, a journey of more than four decades was made a reality when the M/V Sanko Glory called on the Port of Brunswick in March 2008. The arrival of the bulk carrier, the first Panamax vessel to call on the port, marked the completion of an effort to provide a firm foundation for long-term growth and economic expansion in Brunswick. The journey began on August 25, 1960, when the U.S. House of Representatives adopted a resolution authorizing a feasibility study on the deepening for Brunswick's harbor. In 1990, during the ongoing feasibility analysis for harbor deepening, concerns arose that any deepening through the Sidney

Lanier Bridge could impact the stability of the bridge piers. At that time, the width and the air draft of the old bridge severely limited ship sizes and caused frequent delays for commuter traffic. After eight years of construction, the new bridge opened in 2003 expanding its channel width an additional 500 feet and a greatly expanded air draft to 185 feet at mean high water. With the reality of a new bridge taking shape, the Water Resources Development Act of 1999 finally authorized monies to deepen the shipping channel. With all necessary engineering and design work in place, the project to deepen the inner harbor to 36 feet MLW began in 2002. The project was dedicated at a ribbon-cutting

Written by Lee Beckmann
ceremony in June 2007. With the channel deepening to a 36 feet MLW now complete, the Port of Brunswick is open to new opportunities in each of the three cargo segments it serves. By taking advantage of the deeper water, pristine environment and stellar service provided by the GPA, the port community and GPA's customers can and will enjoy opportunities providing avenues for growth.
The 36 feet at MLW of available channel draft enables an additional 45 percent of the world's bulk fleet to access the GPA's facilities. Increased access and capacity at the Colonel's Island Agri-bulk Facility is of vital importance to Georgia's largest industry -

32

GPA Ports Guide & Directory 2009

agriculture. With newer, larger ships visiting the facility more often, U.S. farmers throughout the U.S. Southeast and Midwest will enjoy greater and more cost effective access to the markets of the world.
The additional capacity provided by deeper water, a wider channel, air draft, and facility improvements has already brought results. During Fall 2007, Bunge North America, a leading global diversified agribusiness and foodstuffs company, announced a major unique and cooperative agreement with the GPA to perpetuate its South Atlantic shipments of diverse bulk agriculture products through the Port of Brunswick. This LTA agreement providing Bunge full utilization of GPA's Colonel's Island facility assets, has generated over 800,000 tons of diverse agribusiness tonnage in just the first year of this LTA which already has been mutually extended through 2016 and beyond.
"The Port of Brunswick is an ideal location with a state-of-the-art facility," said Bailey Ragan, Bunge's grain division vice president and general manager. "This agreement also enables Bunge to expand our origination network along the East Coast and to work with the strong local farm community."
Brunswick's preparations and smooth execution of the M/V Sanko Glory's delivered cargo ended when the 42,000 metric tons of soybean meal was loaded onto the bulk vessel. However, rest assured, the Port of Brunswick's `days of glory' are well underway.

Even before the advent of the container, poultry products ranked high on the roster of goods exiting Savannah. The port's natural hinterland supports a thriving poultry industry spawned by favorable climate, land availability and access to feed sources. Additionally, area farmers have long been receptive to breeding programs installed and funded by major producers.
More recently, the advent of the intermodal era has extended the logistics reach for frozen poultry moving in export via Savannah. The ability to blast freeze poultry and poultry parts and immediately transfer them into refrigerated containers enables poultry

providers to effectively address the critical issue of temperature control throughout the supply chain cycle. As a result, Savannah's hinterland for these commodities has been effectively extended to production areas in the Midwest, South and along the U.S. East Coast. Leading origins are located across the U.S. Southeast in the states of Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, South Carolina and Georgia.
Asia and Russia are the major destinations for these exports. Among Asia's largest consumers, China, Hong Kong, Korea and Taiwan's domestic demand far exceeds their production capacity. The Port of Savannah's extensive

Written by John Powers
ocean carrier portfolio to and from that region makes it the preferred hub for exporters of poultry and other refrigerated cargoes. Pilgrim's Pride is the world's largest chicken producer, processing some four million tons of poultry per year. Duncan Gilchrist, international logistics manager for the firm explains that "Savannah is the company's main port of loading and that the primary attraction is that it supports a large number of all-water services, via both the Panama and Suez Canals."
For frozen and chilled exports via Savannah, poultry and poultry products dominate the conversation in that they comprise 85% of

34

GPA Ports Guide & Directory 2009

total volumes. The remaining 15% is citrus and other food products. In 2007, these food products tallied over 34,500 containers of the port's 1.44 million container throughput. Herman J. Brown Jr., who is responsible for GPA's reefer trade development, provides further evidence of the upward trend for outbound reefer freight. "20,366 refrigerated containers were shipped through Savannah in the first six months of 2008 a 23% increase from the same time last year and 58% more than 2006. This surge is due to a combination of factors including the weakening of the U.S. dollar and the declining rate of the bird flu scare which hindered our exports", he explains.
The lion's share of Savannah's reefer imports comprise seafood,

primarily individually quick frozen (IQF) and processed seafood for grocery stores and fast food chain operators. The majority of these products flow from Vietnam and Thailand, with lesser quantities originating in China and scattered outside of Asia production centers. While outbound refrigerated exports from Savannah exceed inbound shipments by a ratio of approximately 5 to 1, the import rate continues to accelerate, and has doubled since the end of 2005.
Beaver Street Fisheries is one of the largest seafood importers in the Southeastern U.S. Among many factors the company has chosen Savannah as its main import gateway due to the port's strength in Asian services.
The recent softening of the dollar

has had a marked impact on export volumes from the U.S. As a result, issues such as equipment availability, positioning and relocation expenses have had a dramatic impact on outbound tariffs. Refrigerated shipments have not escaped unscathed. Brown explains, "The increased demand has had a big impact on ocean carriers' export freight rates for reefer containers. In 2006, the average 40 foot, port-to-port rate from Savannah to Hong Kong was in the range of $2,100-$2,500, compared with $3,500-$4,500 now. And, carriers are telling us that the rates may be increased by an additional $500 in late 2008." However, Brown reports that soaring rates have done minimal to mitigate demand or slow the

growth rate for temperaturecontrolled cargoes.
Technology innovation has paralleled the emergence of reefer freight in Savannah's cargo portfolio. A few decades ago before reefer containers were available, frozen seafood, poultry and meat moved in and out of ports on dedicated breakbulk vessels where entire holds were battened downed specifically for such shipments. By necessity, freight had to move in large increments to cost justify the cost of building and refrigerating such large spaces. Shoreside, large cold storage facilities were erected to minimize cargo exposure to the elements between vessel and inland carriage.
With the advent of the refrigerated container came two new opportunities. First, the ability to ensure cradle to grave temperature control for reefer goods. Secondly, the capability to move frozen and chilled products in smaller increments.
As a result, shippers and ocean carriers began to demand boxes with integrated gensets and refrigeration capabilities to take advantage of the container option. For its part, Savannah responded with banks of electrical reefer plugs in its container yards to eliminate the need for constant operation of gensets in the field.
To further protect refrigerated cargoes transiting Savannah, GPA pioneered the design and installation of ground fault monitors (GFM's) at its reefer hookups. This technology allowed for 24/7 monitoring of overall operation and maintenance of temperatures within acceptable ranges. Where

previously maintenance personnel relied on regular "rounds" and manual inspections, now they received instantaneous alerts of equipment problems, emerging electrical faults and shutdowns. Additionally, the GFM's exponentially increased safety levels for the field personnel responsible for the repair and maintenance of electrical and refrigeration gear.
The latest example of GPA's leadership in temperature-control cargo handling is its innovative reefer racks. An integral part of the port's FOCUS 2015 master plan, these racks are dramatically expanding Savannah's capacity and efficiency to handle the burgeoning traffic. The first 14 racks supporting berths 1 through 3 went into operation in April, 2008. Each supports 24 reefer containers, stowed four high and six wide. Combined, these 14 racks will accommodate 336 boxes, and are initially being utilized for export containers.
Phase 1 completion of ten additional reefer racks to support berths 7 through 9 was completed in November, 2008. Phase 1 development supports 240 boxes. Phase 2 completion (March 1, 2009) of ten more racks will support another 240 boxes. These racks will also serve to accommodate reefer activity transiting berths 4 through 6.
A third set of racks, to be located at the rear of container berth 5, are planned to support berths 4 through 6 and are scheduled for development in 2010. The introduction of reefer racks enables ocean carriers and reefer shippers to fully enjoy the operating efficiencies afforded by Garden City

Terminal's single-terminal configuration; North America's largest.
The racks will ultimately replace the storage of all export reefer containers on chassis. The old container with gensets on chassis which comes with built-in disadvantages in terms of equipment utilization and cost of temperature maintenance. Rather than relying on on-board power generation, the racks permit operation using shore power.
Brown summarizes the multiple benefits saying, "We get a better, more efficient utilization of our acreage by stacking boxes rather than having them on wheels. Export containers are currently stowed on wheels for 1-4 days, and we have to lease generators to power many of them. The new reefer racks, coupled with dramatic improvements in our container yard turn-times, result in carriers being able to achieve greater efficiencies of power generation equipment necessary to support refrigerated containers."
The turnaround improvements have been accomplished by an overhaul of on-terminal truck operations, including the introduction of an Internet-based advanced gate booking system, in which accredited drivers use their assigned PIN number to further accelerate their transit in and out of the terminal.
Duncan Gilchrist of Pilgrim's Pride confirms the turnaround improvements. "Following conversations among the GPA, shippers such as ourselves and trucking companies, truck waiting times at the Port of Savannah have been reduced to less than one hour now. Having more truck capacity

36

GPA Ports Guide & Directory 2009

available has improved our export operation considerably with respect to the inflexible and time critical appointment system for trucks picking up shipments at the third party freezer storage facilities we use."
Improved turnaround times become even more valuable given the requirement that the FDA must inspect chicken before it leaves the freezer stores. The end result is the need for close coordination among government inspectors, truckers, storage facilities, freight forwarders and shippers. Ultimately, a fully vetted and documented shipment may arrive at port with a tight time window to meet its assigned vessel. Explaining the potential implications, Gilchrist says, "If we miss an

appointment slot for the dispatch of an export shipment, we may have to wait several weeks before we get another one, and this costs us money. Obviously, the accelerated turn-times in Savannah can be extremely advantageous for us."
The configuration of the new racks also carries significant efficiency and safety implications. Electrical gear is centralized at one end for simplified access. Field workers will reach boxes by a system of stairs and platforms to perform inspections, testing and repairs, obviating the hazard and expense inherent with alternate procedures...all good news for maintenance and repair workers. Brown explains, "This configuration enhances worker safety by eliminating the need to use scissor lifts

to reach reefer boxes stowed at the upper levels of yard stacks. The centralization of electrical equipment at ground level further reduces the risks associated with maintenance performed at a high elevation."
Centralized shore power, simplified access for maintenance and repair, faster-inspections...these are advantages that combine to further reduce dwell-time and optimize reefer equipment utilization in Savannah.

A short trip down Savannah's cargo roster will lead you to one of the leading players in the port's impressive volume surge, furniture. Furniture import volumes for the most recent fiscal year grew over 32,087 TEU's to 185,670 TEU's, a 20.9% increase over the previous year. These numbers place this commodity group as the number 1 import during fiscal year 2008 (ending June 30, 2008).
China continued its role as the major supplier of imported furniture. However, manufacturers in search of lowest-cost labor have embraced new sources in Thailand, Malaysia and Vietnam with increasing frequency. Many of these

origins in Southeastern Asia are strategically situated to take advantage of all-water routing via the Suez Canal. This is particularly good news for Savannah which boasts multiple Asian services transiting the Suez. This plus the traditional furniture imported from Europe and the Mediterranean have helped Savannah gain a larger share of the furniture market.
Export activity has also seen involvement, with outbound shipments moving to a wide variety of destinations. Mark Troughton, who manages GPA's relationships with furniture shippers explains, "Our furniture exports move to consignees worldwide, with

significant volumes bound for the Caribbean and Central America. Much of this activity revolves around commercial projects such as hotels, schools and hospitals."
Competition among U.S. East Coast ports for furniture traffic mirrors their ongoing battle for overall market share with the same result...Savannah leads the way. Troughton details the drivers, "Shippers are drawn by our high volume of carriers and the number of sailings originating in ports close to major furniture sources. These diverse transportation options provide them an advantage in both cost and transit."
"A second factor is the proliferation of distribution centers in Savannah's immediate hinterland.

38

GPA Ports Guide & Directory 2009

Importers such as Wal-Mart, Lowes, Pier 1 Imports and IKEA are major contributors. Finally, proximity to population centers and the rail and highway infrastructure to access them are the final ingredients in the equation." Troughton also points to the GPA's well-cultivated relationship with the American Home Furnishings Alliance as a major factor in highlighting the Port of Savannah's strategic advantages.
Notwithstanding the housing crunch and a weak economy, the Port of Savannah continues to cement its leadership position going forward. Roberto Rodriguez, general manager of marketing and business development, states, "The furniture imports market shrank by 4% in 2007 and can see as much as a 10% decline in 2008. Furniture distributors and retailers are looking to reduce cost and improve the fluidity of their inventories which they have found in Savannah. Volume transiting the Port of Savannah increased by 24% in 2007 and is expected to increase by 10% in 2008. Once the economy turns around and consumers start to replace and update their furniture, Savannah will be able to help importers meet the demand."

In 2006, 15% of the apparel and textiles entering the U.S. via South Atlantic ports (Norfolk to Miami) moved across Savannah's docks. In 2007, Savannah's market share jumped to 26%, a 60% increase. The reasons for the dramatic increase can be largely summed up in a single word... Suez.

Written by John Powers
Over the same period, Savannah's inbound shipments from India swelled by 106%, and imports from Southeast Asia were up 69%. In addition, a number of Middle Eastern nations emerged as viable manufacturing options for the apparel sector. "Each of these three regions are ideally situated to

take advantage of Savannah's burgeoning roster of ocean carrier services via the Suez Canal," explains Roberto Rodriguez, Georgia Ports Authority's general manager of marketing and business development.
The total U.S. market for apparel, linens, and textiles comprised 1.25 million TEU's last year. Of this total one-third came from Northeast Asia, 21% from

Southeast Asia, 15% from India and 12% from Central America. Some 333,000 TEU's of the total traversed U.S. South Atlantic ports, highlighting the increasing popularity of all-water services to the U.S. East Coast via both canals.
Another factor heavily influencing Southeast port rankings for apparel and textiles in Savannah's favor is the proliferation of largescale, high-volume distribution centers in its immediate hinterland. A number of the big-box importers count upon apparel sales as a major revenue driver...Target, Wal-Mart, Kmart-Sears, Bass Pro Shops and Hugo Boss, for example.
"More and more big retailers are looking to consolidate imports into mega-centers like Savannah. Likewise, ocean carriers are

reducing their multi-porting in favor of consolidating operations in one or two ports on each coast. Savannah has the unique combination of terminal horsepower and distribution center capacity to be a consolidation point for both apparel importers and ocean carriers. No one is better positioned to help them facilitate their sought-after economies. We expect the trend to continue as carriers seek to rationalize their rotations," explains Rodrguez.
Central America and the Caribbean are also receiving increased marketing attention from Savannah. Traditionally, 80%-plus of apparel shipments emanating from the region moved via Miami and Port Everglades. More recently, ocean carriers plying the north-south trades have

experienced increased customer demand for ports-of-call closer to population centers and distribution hubs. Enter Savannah.
GPA is projecting a continuing increase in its share of the apparel market. "Our three-pronged strategy is fairly straightforward," says Rodriguez. "With the room to build and grow inside and outside of our gates, Savannah will continue to entice large distribution centers. We will bolster our ocean carrier service offerings via both the Suez and Panama canals, as well as in the northand southbound lanes. We will clearly delineate to the shipper/ carrier community the compelling list of strategic and cost advantages that have driven our unparalleled growth in apparel and overall trade."

Savannah's Two On-terminal ICTF's Provide Twice the Options
The only U.S. East Coast port with two Class I rail providers operating on-terminal. The only port in the country offering two on-terminal Intermodal Container Transfer Facilities (ICTF). Clear indicators of the ascendancy of intermodal rail traffic in the Port of Savannah.
Even before the 2008 fuel pricing fluctuations, intermodal rail was consuming a growing share of surface container traffic in and out of Savannah. Of the nearly 2.7 million TEUs that traversed Savannah docks in FY2008 (July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008), 18% moved by rail.
The location equation applies. The U.S. Southeast boasts many of the nation's fastest growing transportation centers. Fully 80% of the nation's population falls within a hinterland that is cost competitively served by rail via

Written by John Powers
Savannah. John Wheeler, GPA director of trade development details an additional growth phenomenon. "More and more, markets historically associated with West Coast ports of entry are taking advantage of Savannah's multiple advantages of proximity, cost, transit, equipment availability and a diverse ocean carrier roster. Our recent surge in Suez routings has made us particularly attractive for importers bringing product from Asia," he explains.
While fuel costs have changed the traditional geography for intermodal rail, markets beyond a 300 mile radius generally lend themselves to the rail option. Via Savannah, this makes distribution/population hubs such as Memphis, Nashville, Dallas and points in the Midwest logical destinations.
No single market receives more of Savannah's intermodal attentions than Atlanta. Ranking as the ninth largest U.S. metro, Atlanta is

simultaneously a major population center with 5.2 million consumers in its immediate region, and a major distribution/consolidation hub for receipt and on-forwarding of a wide array of consumer and manufactured products. Combined, Norfolk Southern Railroad and CSXT operate 18 weekly unit trains via Savannah.
Squarely in the sights of the Georgia Ports Authority's sales and marketing team are cargoes currently traversing the West Coast, but better suited to call East Coast markets via Savannah. Wheeler adds, "In the western U.S., a shortage of port-proximate real estate has forced intermodal facilities and distribution centers inland. As a result, shippers cannot enjoy the transit and cost advantages inherent in our on-terminal rail configuration."
One of the critical components of the Port of Savannah's 10-year strategic development plan is to double container throughput across the existing footprint of its Garden City Terminal. Ultimately,

42

GPA Ports Guide & Directory 2009

changes in terminal configuration, process and equipment are targeted to permit the facility to handle annual volumes in excess of 6.5 million TEUs by the middle of the next decade.
A key component of the strategy has been the development of the port's two ICTF's, Mason and Chatham. Curtis Foltz, COO, explains, "Development of intermodal container transfer facilities within the confines of our terminal is a key component of our attempts to further our terminal densification. This proximity enables us to dramatically reduce times between vessel and rail, improving transit times for shippers and equipment availability for ocean and surface carriers."
Augie Eckhardt, market manager international for Norfolk Southern Railroad, concurs, "The ICTF provides for a seamless flow of traffic between the marine terminal and rail service. As volumes moving through the Port of Savannah continue to grow, so will the importance of this direct, on-dock service by offering shippers greater options for moving cargo inland, and reducing the need for inlanddestined units to dwell on the marine terminal."
A number of converging supply chain trends suggest that Savannah's rail initiatives are well timed. "Carriers continue to deploy larger ships, and they tend to reduce the number of ports in their rotations to take advantage of their economies of scale. The ports they select are those who enjoy proximity and access to the most strategic markets, and the infrastructure to ensure frequent and timely connectivity. Our

recent dynamic growth demonstrates that more often than not, Savannah makes the final cut," states Wheeler.
Savannah's rail horsepower significantly expands its traditional hinterland to encompass virtually the entire country. In terms of speed to market and the total transportation bill, Savannah is the default choice for over threequarters of the U.S. population. The port has streamlined the shipper's process of delivery analysis via its online Global Carrier Services Tool. This interactive portal, accessible at www.gaports.com, provides reliable detail on ocean, rail and highway transit times via the port.
Projections call for rail to consume an increasing share of the surface transportation market for containers moving in and out of Savannah. Wheeler notes, "We anticipate sustained long-term growth in freight volumes, ocean carrier calls and construction of distribution centers and warehousing, driven by Savannah's enviable

combination of location and infrastructure. Intermodal rail lies at the core of our strategy to attract traffic from a nation- spanning hinterland." Openings of the Mason (2001) and Chatham (2008) ICTF's, together with recent and future planned rail expansion, suggest that the Port of Savannah will remain poised to take advantage of the growth opportunities inherent in multiple, on-terminal rail services.
"With its commitment to fuel efficient and environmentally friendly rail, the Port of Savannah continues as one of our most important strategic port partners," said Clarence Gooden, executive vice president and chief commercial officer of CSX. "Savannah's marine-rail connections make it a conduit to the rest of North America, while leveraging environmental benefits and reducing wear and tear on roads and highways. Savannah's progressive approach to port investments will keep it competitive as the face of global trade evolves."

Land, location, labor and links combine with the efficiencies of Garden City Terminal's single-terminal design and the ability to grow long-term inside and outside of the terminal to attract retailers and manufacturers such as Wal-Mart, Target, Kmart-Sears, IKEA, The Home Depot, Heineken, Hasbro, Dorel, PETCO, Avon, Academy Sports, Pier 1 Imports, Lowes, and many more. Within a 125 mile radius of the Port of Savannah alone, 45% of all Savannah imports, or 600,000 TEUs annually, are generated by retail distribution center activity.

THINK ADVANTAGE.
Able to reach more of the USA's population in the fewest days, the Port of Savannah, located in the southeastern USA, is no longer just an alternative to West Coast entry. More reliable all-water services make Savannah India's port of choice for the most predictable transit times to markets throughout the USA.
s Proven relationships and knowledge of India's shippers from years of experience have made Savannah essential to the continuing demand for Indian goods in the USA.
s More all-water services between Asia and Savannah provide India's shippers with a wealth of weekly vessel calls served by the world's largest ocean carriers.
s The only East Coast port in the USA with two railroads operating on-terminal, Savannah also offers India's shippers immediate access to two major interstates, putting key inland hubs within reach in 1-5 days.
THINK USA. THINK SAVANNAH.

THINK EXPANSION.
Able to reach more of the USA's population in the fewest days, the Port of Savannah, located in the southeastern USA, is no longer just an alternative to West Coast entry. Savannah is Vietnam's port of choice. And with more land for future growth than any port coast to coast, Savannah is vital to Vietnam's further expansion into markets throughout the USA.
s More all-water services between Asia and Savannah and a variety of intermodal options offer Vietnam's shippers greater access to the USA hinterland.
s More options for off-site development as well as for increased terminal capacity allows Savannah to keep pace as Vietnam's business grows.
s Savannah has more than 224 distribution centers within 2-5 hours of the port and land available to accommodate even more import operations sourcing Vietnam.

As from 2006, ballast water treatment systems will be installed on all new ships. This is six years before new legislation, requiring such treatment systems, enters into force.
Emissions of CO2 and NOx drastically reduced.

Chemicals and detergents onboard are environmentally compatible.
All vessels to have a Green Passport by 2010.

Since 2001, conversion to vessels that run on low-sulphur oil has reduced SO2 emissions by 75,500 tons. That equals the discharge of SO2 in greater London during the same period.

Winner of Lloyd's List "Clean Seas Award" as well as the "Thor Heyerdahl International Maritime Environmental Award" in 2007.

At Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics, we have significantly reduced emmissions from our vessels, as well as improved fuel efficiency. While the number of units we transport continues to go up, our ambition is to make sure the environmental impact continues to go down.
