Route overview
Savannah can reduce the inland leg for Southeast distribution
Savannah can support containerized commercial cargo for Georgia and southeastern markets. All-water service may reduce the inland distance compared with a West Coast gateway, but the complete route should still be compared for schedule, carrier capacity and final delivery.
Cargo may move locally, continue toward Atlanta or connect to other regional markets by rail or truck. Warehouse appointments, container unloading and free-time planning are important parts of the final scope.
