The Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) reports that, for the second year in a row, the Port of Brunswick maintained its position as the US busiest port for automobiles in 2025, handling 779,000 units of autos, plus more than 53,000 units of heavy machinery, representing both import and export movements. 731 ships called the Port of Brunswick in calendar year 2025.

"Our vision for the Port of Brunswick is to be a true world-class shipping and logistics hub for our RoRo customers. We have the U.S. market access and global connectivity, a new berth in construction, expanded rail infrastructure on-terminal and new storage space for vehicles, creating the most supply chain options in the U.S. When Berth 4 opens in November 2027, vessel operators will be able to turn ships faster, save costs and optimize their fleet to compete stronger," said Georgia Ports President and CEO Griff Lynch.

To prepare for anticipated growth, both in vessel size and overall cargo volumes, a series of infrastructure projects are now under way. The enhancements include a new, $100 million berth for Roll-on/Roll-off cargo, improvements to outdoor storage for vehicles, dredging and other harbor modifications.

Construction to add a fourth berth to dock a vessel with overall length (LOA) of 975 feet at the Port of Brunswick's Colonels Island is 30 percent complete, with the final piling for the main dock driven in early April.

GPA is investing ahead of RoRo demand to ensure its ability to handle growing future volumes. Manufacturing growth across the U.S. Southeast is driving demand for large machinery, including oversized cargo moving as specialized project shipments.
