Customers are still evaluating all their options in the market for Baltimore cargo. Many will decide in the weeks ahead in hopes of hearing when the Port of Baltimore will reopen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Georgia Ports Authority has two Roll-on\/Roll-off cargo facilities: Ocean Terminal in Savannah and Colonel\u2019s Island in Brunswick. Baltimore is the country\u2019s largest Ro\/Ro port, and Brunswick is the second largest.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia\u2019s ports are also finishing a $262 million upgrade at the Port of Brunswick\u2019s Colonel\u2019s Island.<\/p>\n<p>Diversions of vehicles and heavy equipment will likely arrive at Colonel\u2019s Island in the next few weeks, officials said. However, Georgia officials are unsure how much cargo will be diverted to Peach State ports.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia Ports \u201chave some space to absorb cargo, but this situation will be a challenge to all ports if this is an extended period before the Port of Baltimore reopens,\u201d the agency added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe anticipate most container cargo will be diverted to Northeastern ports such as Philadelphia, Norfolk and New York-New Jersey,\u201d Georgia Ports officials said. \u201cWe have the space in Savannah to accommodate diverted cargo but we anticipate little impact since plenty of other container port options are located nearby Baltimore. Ocean carriers are still deciding on routing for shipments that have yet to depart from origin nations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Port officials in South Carolina similarly said they are willing to help however they can.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a U.S. East Coast port, SC Ports and the entire maritime community stand ready to assist any ocean carrier customers and importers and exporters in this time of tragedy,\u201d SC Ports President and CEO Barbara Melvin said in a statement to The Center Square. \u201cWe are here to offer support to ensure fluidity in the U.S. supply chains, which is critical to our economy and daily lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Port officials in Georgia and South Carolina are ready to assist Baltimore counterparts until the port resumes normal operations post the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.
