Porter Logistics Expanding 3PL Services in Savannah

Porter Logistics is expanding its 3PL services in Savannah Georgia — joining one of the fastest-growing, most dynamic port regions in the country. This isn’t just a milestone for Porter Logistics: it’s a win for their customers, for regional supply chains, and for the Savannah community at large.

Why Savannah — and Why Now

  • The region’s shipping infrastructure is booming. The Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) recently reported that container traffic through Savannah hit 5.7 million TEUs in fiscal year 2025 — an 8.6% increase over the prior year, making it the port’s second-busiest year on record.
  • New manufacturing in Georgia is driving expansion of chemicals needed in the production of EV’s, Solar Cells, and other new technologies of the future. Their hazmat-certified warehouse in Savannah which can handle flammables, corrosives, toxics, and a number of other dangerous goods
  • Month after month, Savannah terminals are posting record numbers. For example: in April 2025 they moved over 515,500 TEUs — a 17% increase year-over-year.
  • Intermodal efficiency is strong: rail and truck connectivity means cargo moves with speed and reliability, allowing faster turnaround for importers/exporters and reducing supply-chain bottlenecks.

In short: Savannah is not just a port — it’s a logistics hub on the rise. That makes it a natural fit for Porter Logistics to extend its footprint.

What Porter Logistics Brings: High-Standard Customer Service & Supply-Chain Excellence

At Porter Logistics, their commitment to customer satisfaction — rooted in transparency, accountability, and responsive communication — is a key pillar to their explosive growth over the last five years.. Expanding to Savannah allows us to bring those standards to a fast-growing market with tremendous capacity.

  • Speed + Reliability: With Savannah’s growing cargo flow and efficient intermodal infrastructure, we can provide customers with faster transit times, more predictable delivery schedules, and fewer delays — critical for industries sensitive to timing, like agriculture, retail, and manufacturing.
  • Scalability: As Savannah’s container capacity and throughput expand, their clients benefit from access to a major U.S. gateway that supports large-scale volume, without sacrificing personalized attention and care that Porter is known for.
  • Flexibility: Whether your freight is inbound imports, outbound exports, or domestic distribution, their new Savannah 3PL warehouse only seven miles from Garden City Terminal gives customers flexible routing options across truck, rail, and port infrastructure.

We believe high-touch customer service isn’t optional; it’s essential — especially in a fast-paced logistics environment. By combining Savannah’s growth and their service-first approach, we aim to deliver an unmatched logistics experience.

Impact on Savannah & the Regional Economy

Their expansion is more than just business — it’s a contribution to the local economy and employment ecosystem. Consider:

  • Port-related activity in Georgia now supports nearly 651,000 full- and part-time jobs statewide — a 7% increase compared to the prior fiscal year.
  • In Coastal Georgia (the region including Savannah), port-activity supports about 112,000 jobs — highlighting the port’s importance far beyond the docks themselves.
  • As global supply chains evolve and trade volumes grow — evidenced by rising TEU counts at Savannah — demand for warehousing, distribution, trucking, rail logistics, and freight services is likely to increase — creating opportunity for jobs, infrastructure investments, and regional business development.

By establishing a presence here, Porter Logistics hopes to help amplify that growth while bringing integrity, reliability, and customer-centered logistics services to the Savannah region.
