The Georgia Ports Authority is expanding automotive shipping capacity at the Port of Brunswick as global automakers build manufacturing operations across the state. At its annual State of the Port event, officials reported 277% growth over the past decade and 50 vessel calls at Colonel’s Island’s three RoRo berths in October. A fourth RoRo berth is 60% complete, scheduled to open in December 2027, and will accommodate carriers of more than 10,800 CEUs. The expansion is part of a nearly $5 billion infrastructure program planned over the next decade.
