GEORGIA LOGISTICSIndustry Overview

Competing in today’s fast-paced global marketplace often depends on who can deliver their goods most efficiently and reliably. Companies of every type and size must have effective means for receiving the raw materials they need and then shipping their products to their customers.

To fuel this competitiveness, Georgia provides an incomparable logistics and transportation infrastructure that saves both time and money by seamlessly connecting air and seaports with rail and roads. This creates a solid foundation for sustainable growth in an increasingly global marketplace. In addition, Georgia uniquely nurtures a culture of innovation that provides enhanced access for its companies in pursuing new opportunities.

EXISTING INDUSTRY PRESENCE Georgia is home to nearly 11,000 providers of logistics services, from core transportation and facilities, to third-party logistics and software providers, and ranks as the fifth-largest overall logistics employer in the nation. Companies like Delta Air Lines, United Parcel Service, SAIA and Manhattan Associates are headquartered here, along with major players in logistics such as The Home Depot, Coca-Cola and Gulfstream. Additionally, every sector of logistics is supported by active trade associations in Georgia, and Atlanta is a popular location for several major logistics industry events.

AIR TRANSPORTATIONHome to the world’s busiest passenger airport (90 million passengers per year) and world’s largest carrier Delta Air Lines, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is also recognized as the 11th-largest air cargo hub. The airport hosts 12 cargo-only carriers and has more than 1.5 million square feet of cargo handling space. It also serves six continents and allows business travelers to reach 80 percent of the U.S. market within two hours of flight time and any major North American city within four hours. Through Georgia’s network of 144 public and private airports, companies can easily access locations statewide. atlanta-airport.com

GROUND TRANSPORTATIONOn any given week, a combined 5.9 million tons of freight move across Georgia’s 1,200 miles of interstate highways and 20,000 miles of federal and state highways. With 4,700 miles of rail, Georgia has the most extensive rail system and largest intermodal hub in the Southeast. Georgia is served by two class-1 railroads and 24 short-line companies.

It serves more than 40 lines of steamships, has convenient intermodal connections, state-of-the-art cargo handling equipment and value-added services. Savannah is also responsible for moving 20 percent of the East Coast’s overseas container cargo and is one of the few ports in the United States with two class-1 railroad facilities on terminal.

The Port of Brunswick is the sixth-largest automobile processing port in the nation and growing and is the second-largest grain facility on the East Coast. gaports.com
