Bainbridge

The Bainbridge port is located on the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint Waterway, also known as the Tri-Rivers System.

It primarily handles dry bulk cargo and routinely sees traffic from container ships, barges and other commercial vessels.

Brunswick

The Port of Brunswick is Georgia’s second-largest port. It is most well-known for handling automotive cargo. Automakers around the world send cargo ships to Brunswick to offload vehicles for sale across the United States. Its Colonel’s Island Terminal and Mayor’s Point Terminal are both extremely busy, and with easy access to I-95, it is a prime destination for shipping companies in the U.S. and abroad.

Chatsworth

The GPA’s Port Chatsworth is another inland port that sees a high volume of commercial traffic. Like workers at other locations, workers here face various risks of anything from being struck by a container to serious slip-and-fall injuries.

Columbus

Located on the Chattahoochee River, Port Columbus is located in close proximity to the National Civil War Naval Museum. This port is dedicated to handling liquid bulk cargo and sees a high volume of traffic from the Gulf of Mexico.

Savannah

Georgia’s largest port is the Port of Savannah. With its central East Coast location, the Port of Savannah is quickly growing into one of the busiest and most important ports in the entire country. Cargo and cruise ships pass through the Port of Savannah daily, bringing cargo and visitors from around the world to this historic city on the water.
