佐治亚州:投资1.34亿美元的盖恩斯维尔内陆港正式开业,霍尔县货物可直通萨凡纳港

佐治亚州州长布赖恩·肯普(Brian Kemp)10月29日与佐治亚港务局(Georgia Ports Authority)在佐治亚州霍尔县盖恩斯维尔市共同为盖恩斯维尔内陆港举行正式开业仪式。这座内陆港投资1.34亿美元,已于2026年5月4日先行投入运营。
内陆港通过诺福克南方铁路(Norfolk Southern)把佐治亚州东北部与萨凡纳港直接相连,萨凡纳港每周有40个船期。全面建成后,内陆港年处理能力可达20万个集装箱;港务局预计运营第一年就可把2.6万个集装箱从公路转移到铁路运输。
港口卡车闸口每周一至周五上午7点至晚上8点开放,货主可经85号和985号州际公路抵达。港务局表示,该地区拥有200万人口的消费市场和300多家制造企业;自2020年以来,盖恩斯维尔与霍尔县已有78家企业新建或扩建,带来4800多个岗位和20亿美元投资,制造业、加工和物流业占当地劳动力的33%。港务局还为霍尔县的道路项目出资480万美元。
内陆港是港务局约50亿美元十年投资计划的一部分。计划中的萨凡纳集装箱码头耗资23亿美元、占地350英亩、年能力350万标准箱,定于2028年动工、2030年代中期投用,届时萨凡纳港总能力将达到1200万标准箱。
肯普表示,内陆港让佐治亚州东北部的企业离世界级港口更近一步。港务局首席执行官格里夫·林奇(Griff Lynch)、董事会主席亚历克·普瓦特万(Alec Poitevint)和总裁凯文·普赖斯(Kevin Price)出席了开业仪式。
Georgia: Gov. Kemp, Georgia Ports Host Gainesville Inland Port Grand Opening
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp joined the Georgia Ports Authority on October 29 for the official grand opening of the Gainesville Inland Port in Gainesville, Hall County, Georgia. The $134 million facility had already begun operations on May 4, 2026.
The inland port links Northeast Georgia directly to the Port of Savannah by Norfolk Southern rail; Savannah offers 40 weekly vessel calls. At full build-out the facility will handle 200,000 containers a year, and the Ports Authority expects to shift 26,000 containers from truck to rail in the first year.
The truck gate operates from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday, with access via Interstates 85 and 985. The authority said the region is a two-million-person consumer market with more than 300 manufacturers; since 2020, 78 companies have located or expanded in Gainesville-Hall County, adding more than 4,800 jobs and $2 billion in investment, and manufacturing, processing and logistics account for 33 percent of the local workforce. The authority also funded $4.8 million in Hall County road projects.
The inland port is part of the authority's roughly $5 billion ten-year plan. The planned Savannah Container Terminal, a $2.3 billion, 350-acre project with 3.5 million TEU of capacity, is set to start construction in 2028 and open in the mid-2030s, taking Savannah's total capacity to 12 million TEU.
Kemp said the inland port brings a world-class seaport within reach of Northeast Georgia businesses. GPA President and CEO Griff Lynch, Chairman Alec Poitevint and President Kevin Price took part in the ceremony.
