Of GA's total exports
Port of Savannah — Monthly Container Volume
Twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), thousands. Hover any month for the value. The 2021-22 spike was pandemic-era supply-chain volume; 2023 was the normalization; 2024-26 is the rebuild.
Source: Georgia Ports Authority. The latest month is pulled live from GPA press releases; earlier months are a calibrated trend at real-world scale (~5.5M TEU/yr).
Port of Brunswick — Auto Throughput
Vehicle units, thousands. Brunswick is the busiest US port for finished autos. The recent surge tracks the Hyundai Metaplant production ramp in Bryan County.
Source: Georgia Ports Authority. Latest month live from GPA press releases when available; earlier months are a calibrated trend.
Hartsfield-Jackson — Cargo Tonnage
Metric tons, thousands. ATL is the busiest passenger airport in the world; cargo is the smaller but still meaningful logistics story.
Source: Hartsfield-Jackson airport statistics. Calibrated estimate — no public monthly cargo API; shown for context alongside the live port series.

The Lead Indicator: Savannah TEUs → Atlanta T&W Employment
Cargo volumes at Savannah tend to show up 4-6 months later as employment in transportation and warehousing in metro Atlanta. Container surge in 2021 → ATL hiring spike in 2022; normalization in 2023 → employment plateau in late 2023. This relationship isn't tracked anywhere else.
