Logistics & Warehousing in Savannah, GA
Savannah is one of the two main ports TRT Logistics calls home. In the Port of Savannah, TRT operates a brand-new 316,800-square-foot warehouse on a 30-acre site — our newest facility — together with our Savannah drayage operation. That combination puts the full TRT chain inside one port: containers come off the vessel, our own drayage team moves them a short distance into secure storage, and the same company that received the cargo can transload it, prepare it, and haul it onward.
TRT operates many warehouses; Newark and Savannah are the main ones. Savannah is our Southeast anchor and our room to grow: a state-of-the-art industrial warehouse built for receiving, storing, staging, and transloading big and heavy freight, with outdoor storage for out-of-gauge cargo that cannot fit inside a standard warehouse bay. This page explains what TRT can do for your shipment in Savannah — and names the one service that lives in Newark instead, so you can plan the whole move with open eyes.
A Brand-New Warehouse in the Port of Savannah
Our Savannah warehouse is brand new: 316,800 square feet of state-of-the-art industrial warehouse space on a 30-acre site in the Port of Savannah. The facility is equipped with advanced technology and robust inventory management systems that provide real-time visibility into inventory levels, so you keep control over your goods while they are stored — and that visibility helps streamline operations, improve productivity, and reduce costly delays throughout your supply chain.
The building is only part of the site. Oversized and out-of-gauge cargo that cannot go inside a standard warehouse bay can be held in outdoor storage on the site, and the warehouse is built for the work big freight needs: receiving, storing, staging, and transloading heavy and oversized pieces. While your cargo is with us, it is protected around the clock — all TRT warehouses have state-of-the-art surveillance and 24-hour security guards, and every shipment is professionally handled and carefully monitored under strict protocols.
Services Available in Savannah
From the Savannah facility, shippers can put together the same end-to-end moves TRT runs in Newark:
Drayage at the Port of Savannah
TRT provides local drayage services at the Port of Savannah. Our drayage team collects your containers at the terminal and manages every step from pickup to delivery — into our Savannah warehouse for storage or transloading, or out to your warehouse or distribution center. We own and operate 100% of our trucks, chassis, and trailers, and our containers are handled by skilled company drivers, so scheduling never depends on third-party carriers. Real-time tracking and status updates run throughout the move.
Warehousing and transloading
Containers can move straight from the terminal into 316,800 square feet of warehouse space, for short-term storage between shipments or long-term storage for bulk inventory. Freight can be unloaded, sorted, and transloaded for onward delivery, and vehicles, boats, and yachts can be received, stored, and prepared for onward shipping. Advanced inventory systems keep goods organized, accessible, and accounted for while they wait.
Oversize and specialized cargo
Savannah is built for cargo that does not fit the standard system. Oversized and out-of-gauge pieces can be staged indoors or in outdoor storage, prepared by our wrapping and craning teams, and hauled onward by our oversize transportation team — route planning, permitting, and pilot cars included, with lowboy, extendable, and multi-axle trailers matched to the load, DOT-compliant throughout.
Ocean freight coordination
Ocean freight through Savannah is coordinated with TRT drayage and warehousing, so a shipment’s sea leg and land legs are planned together. We handle containerized shipping — FCL and LCL, with weekly consolidations — Roll-On/Roll-Off shipping for vehicles, machinery, and oversized equipment, and bulk cargo transport, and we manage the customs documentation and processes international shipments require.
An honest note on bonded storage
One service does not live in Savannah: TRT’s bonded Container Freight Station (CFS) is at our Newark location, in Port Newark-Elizabeth. If your cargo needs to be held in bond — under customs supervision, with duties and taxes deferred until release — it is received and held at the Newark CFS. Tell us up front if a shipment is in-bond, and we will build that into the plan instead of discovering it at the terminal.
How Cargo Flows Through Savannah
Step 1 — Arrival at the Port of Savannah
Your vessel arrives and the container is discharged at the terminal. Because TRT’s warehouse sits in the port, the plan for the cargo’s next step is already made.
Step 2 — Drayage pickup
TRT’s company drivers collect the container at the terminal on TRT-owned chassis and move it the short distance into our Savannah warehouse — no inland trucking leg before your freight is received, and no hand-off to an outside carrier.
Step 3 — Receive, store, or transload
At the warehouse, the freight is unloaded and sorted, then stored, staged, or transloaded for onward delivery. Oversized pieces go to outdoor storage; standard freight is checked in against live inventory systems; cargo that needs preparation is wrapped, crated, or secured by our preparation teams.
Step 4 — Onward transport
From Savannah, cargo moves out on the right equipment for its next leg: local or regional delivery, oversize transportation for pieces that outgrow a standard trailer, or a loaded export container hauled back to the terminal for its vessel.
Step 5 — Delivery, with visibility throughout
Every container is monitored and every shipment tracked, with proactive communication at each stage — so you know where your cargo is, from the moment it leaves the vessel to the moment it is delivered.
Who Ships Through Savannah?
Importers and exporters moving cargo through the Southeast use Savannah as their port of entry and exit, with warehousing in the port instead of a long inland haul before storage. Manufacturers and project cargo shippers bring heavy machinery, industrial components, and out-of-gauge pieces that need a large-footprint facility, outdoor storage, and a team that treats oversized freight as a specialty rather than an exception. Freight forwarders use TRT in Savannah as their on-the-ground operation — drayage, warehousing, and transloading under one roof. And vehicle shippers move cars, SUVs, boats, and yachts through the port with drayage and warehousing coordinated by the same company that handles the ocean leg. Standard cargo, one container at a time, gets the same treatment: a clear plan, a detailed quote, and one point of contact.
Savannah and Newark: Two Main Ports, One Team
Savannah does not stand alone. TRT operates many warehouses, and its two main port locations — Savannah and Newark — run as one system: 466,800 square feet of main warehouse space between them. Cargo that enters through Savannah can connect to TRT’s Newark operation, including the bonded CFS in Port Newark-Elizabeth, and cargo that enters through Newark can move south into Savannah’s space. One team plans across both ports, our agents assist in nine languages — English, Spanish, German, Russian, Polish, Arabic, Georgian, Ukrainian, and Turkish — and you keep a single point of contact whichever port your freight touches.
What Affects the Cost of Services in Savannah
There is no flat rate for port logistics, because no two shipments are alike. Your quote is built from the specifics: how many containers are moving and what they hold, how much warehouse space the cargo needs and for how long, whether it needs transloading, wrapping, crating, or outdoor storage, and where it travels next — a local delivery, an oversize haul, or an export sailing. Timing matters too: standard and expedited drayage are planned and priced differently. As with every TRT service, you receive a clear, detailed quote before any shipment is accepted, with no hidden fees.

TRT’s Savannah warehouse is in the Port of Savannah, in Savannah, Georgia. It is our newest facility — a brand-new 316,800-square-foot warehouse on a 30-acre site — and it works together with our Savannah drayage operation, so cargo can come off the vessel and move a short distance into secure storage under one team. TRT operates many warehouses; Savannah and Newark are the main ones.

In one chain, under one team: our drayage drivers collect the container at the terminal, the freight is received into our Savannah warehouse for storage, transloading, or preparation, and then it moves out on the right equipment — local delivery, oversize transportation with route planning and permits, or a loaded export container back to the terminal. You get tracking and proactive updates at every stage.
