Intown Atlanta used to park cargo, relieve Savannah port congestion
- - - - -
Early in the fall, more than 30 ships were queued up in the harbor waiting to unload. That line was down to six ships at the end of last week.
Port officials also are hiring more workers and are running the terminal around-the-clock in Savannah. Steady improvement has been made, Lynch said.
The backups were even worse on shore, where nearly 90,000 containers were stacked in anticipation of rail or truck transport. That has been cut by nearly one-third, Lynch said.

Been watching the congestion outside Savannah (hometown and home port) on AIS. They are actually catching up with the demand, slowly but surely.
I’ve stayed in Savannah a few times along the river. Always impressive to see those huge container ships move through there.
