The Georgia Ports Authority in 2022 handled 5.9 million twenty-foot equivalent units — more containers than ever before and a 5% increase over 2021. 'It was a challenging year, but collaborative effort across Georgia's supply chain ensured cargo movement remained fluid,' Executive Director Griff Lynch said in a news release. Those challenges included widespread port backups as imports overwhelmed the supply chain. In January 2022, about 150 container ships were stuck off North American ports waiting to berth.
