In September alone, the Georgia Port Authority's (GPA) container throughput rose by 5.4 per cent year on year to 325,141 TEU.
"Sustained organic growth coupled with increased market share are driving these volume increases," said GPA executive director Griff Lynch in a statement. "We have also achieved major gains through the addition of neo-Panamax vessels to the fleet serving Garden City Terminal."
Container tonnes grew by 8.1 per cent, or 543,761 tonnes, to reach 7.23 million tonnes for the quarter ending September 30.
