Coastal Ports are Vital to Dacula's Economy

By Mayor Jimmy Wilbanks 

What do these abbreviations have in common?

CSA, APL, NYK, and ZIM. They are all carrier codes for shippers who visit Georgia Ports. These four are of course not the only carriers who call at the Port of Savannah. They are among the more than hundreds of shipping line/carriers that arrive on a weekly, bi-weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or other schedule. These carriers arrive from many trade areas including Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Mediterranean, and many other areas. They carry bulk, container, roll-on/off, refrigerated, and other goods.

Georgia Ports support jobs and the economy all  over Georgia, including Gwinnett County, and the Southeastern United States. The Ports of Savannah and Brusnwick are important indicators of the health of the economy.

Even though Dacula is removed from coastal Georgia, Georgia Ports are vital to our economy here. See the article at http://www.daculaga.gov/georgia-ports-why-we-should-care.
