About Savannah

Savannah has become the main South Atlantic gateway for cargo heading into the US Southeast, and its container terminal sits on a single contiguous site rather than being split across several basins, which keeps transfers between berths short. The river approach means vessel size is capped below what the deep-water Atlantic ports take. It is well set up for onward rail into Atlanta and the interior Southeast.

First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Savannah — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 1319 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider United States lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
