近日，美国佐治亚州港务局正式获得美国陆军工程兵团批准，将斥资23亿美元，在萨凡纳港新建一座大型集装箱码头。萨凡纳港是美国第四大集装箱港口，美国东海岸第二大集装箱港口，2025年完成集装箱吞吐量570万标箱，排名全球第38。
新码头选址于哈钦森岛（Hutchinson Island），与萨凡纳港现有的花园城码头隔河相望。项目规划建设3个深水泊位，占地350英亩（约合141.6公顷），可接卸超大型集装箱船，设计年吞吐能力达350万TEU。该码头计划分期开发，首期工程预计将在2030年代初前后投入运营。
本项目是佐治亚州港务局未来投资计划的核心，该州未来将投资近50亿美元升级港口基建，包括萨凡纳港增建五个大型集装箱船泊位，以及扩大不伦瑞克港的滚装吞吐能力。
目前，萨凡纳港的集装箱吞吐能力已达到775万TEU，除新建码头外，佐治亚港务局还斥资约16亿美元，扩建改造现有的海洋码头，计划到2028年，将其年吞吐能力从目前的20万TEU大幅提升至约175万TEU。佐治亚州港务局总裁表示，未来，萨凡纳港的年吞吐能力将达到1200万TEU。
