Port of Brunswick Sees Record Auto Imports After Baltimore Bridge Collapse

Georgia's auto port handles 44% more vehicles in April, absorbing diverted shipments from Baltimore's closed port.

The Port of Brunswick managed over 80,000 vehicles and heavy machinery units in April, its busiest month ever.
Shipments included 9,000 automobiles and 1,000 heavy machinery pieces rerouted from Baltimore.
Baltimore's port has been largely closed since the March 26 collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
The Georgia Ports Authority is investing $262 million to expand Brunswick's capacity.
Brunswick's auto and machinery shipments have been booming since last year, with expectations to exceed 800,000 units in fiscal year 2024.
