Georgia Approves Spending to Increase RO-RO Capacity
The Georgia Ports Authority approved $2 million funding to increase capacity, efficiency and flexibility in heavy machinery exports, it said. The project "will provide greater capacity in moving oversized roll-on/roll-off cargo at Ocean Terminal,” said GPA Executive Director Curtis Foltz. The money will be used to expand outdoor paved areas to improve sorting and storage of cargo handled at Ocean Terminal. The work includes expanding and improving the cargo pressure washing area, and cargo staging areas to support outside stored cargo, it said.
