Georgia Ports Authority’s (GPA) has announced that the Indamex service, covering the Indian sub-continent and Eastern Mediterranean, would add a new call at Savannah beginning next month.
“Savannah is quickly becoming the port of choice for Suez services and currently participates in seven of the nine services transiting the Suez Canal to the United States East Coast, more than any other port in the South Atlantic and Gulf,” said GPA’s executive director Doug Marchand.
With the addition of the Indamex, Savannah now provides service to all major Indian ports – Nhava Sheva, Mundra and Chennai – and will better fill that country’s growing demand for export commodities such as fabrics, cotton, paper, paperboard and woodpulp.
Imports such as rugs, sheets, towels, blankets and apparel will reach growing consumer markets such as Atlanta, Ga, Orlando, Fla, and Memphis, Tenn, with greater efficiency and savings.
