Taking the pulse of the ports

While Savannah and its port are not immune from the current recession, it may be in better shape than many other areas of the country.

Locally, the number of 20-foot containers, also known as TEUs, moved in November totaled 213,804, a 2.1-percent decrease over the previous November.

While certainly nothing to crow about, it's not so bad when you look at the numbers elsewhere.

"Savannah's container numbers for the year are still up - 1.6 percent," said GPA spokesman Robert Morris. "Long Beach is down 10.2 percent, L.A. is down 4 percent."
