The Port of Savannah reported a record month in September, handling 504,015 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), a rise of 3.7 per cent compared with September 2025. Georgia Ports’ September performance also lifted the first quarter of its fiscal year to more than 1.5 million TEUs, an increase of 40,560 TEUs or 2.7 per cent, sources indicated.

The monthly total of 504,015 TEUs marks the highest September throughput recorded by the port in the supplied figures. The 3.7 per cent year-on-year gain is a clear numerical increase against the same month last year and is presented by the reporting organisation as a standing record for the month.

The figures supplied place the first fiscal quarter above the 1.5 million TEU threshold. The quarter-on-quarter rise of 40,560 TEUs, equivalent to a 2.7 per cent increase, was cited by Georgia Ports in the source material summarising the monthly performance.

Monthly performance in perspective

The September total is presented as a monthly record in the supplied material. That reported single-month figure is the specific monthly datum highlighted by the source and forms the basis for the described record.

The fiscal quarter to date

The supplied notes state the first quarter of the current fiscal year exceeded 1.5 million TEUs, with the 2.7 per cent uptick measured against the comparable period. The quarter-level aggregate and the precise increase of 40,560 TEUs are the principal quarter-on-quarter metrics provided in the material.

The reporting identifies the Port of Savannah and Georgia Ports as the authorities associated with the numbers, and reports as the outlet that carried the item. No operational detail, causation or commentary beyond the raw monthly and quarterly figures is contained in the supplied notes.

Taken together, the numbers in the supplied material show a month of growth followed by a modestly larger first-quarter throughput relative to the previous year. The record September total and the stated quarterly increase are the concrete statistics available for reporting from the supplied source.

Further detail on vessel calls, cargo mix, inland transport performance or longer-term seasonal comparisons is not included in the supplied notes and therefore is not reported here. The supplied material confines coverage to the September monthly total and the first-quarter aggregate and percentage changes that have been summarised above.
