by new ship-to-shore cranes. The GPA Board recently expanded its crane purchase by one, for a total of eight cranes slated for Ocean Terminal. “As the dock construction progresses,
GPA will continue to operate container ships at Ocean Terminal,” said Ed McCarthy, COO, Georgia Ports. “The work – which is funded by GPA’s Series 2022 Revenue Bonds – will be conducted alongside container and breakbulk operations.” Apart from new cranes and berth enhancements, the overall project will bring expanded gate facilities and paving to allow for 1.5 million twenty- foot equivalent (TEU) container units of annual capacity. Wharf renovations began in January 2023, with completion of the entire terminal redevelopment expected in 2026. The Port of Savannah is coming off its busiest October ever, in which it handled nearly 553,000 TEUs. Lynch said the opening of a new container berth at Garden City Terminal this summer and volume declining from historic highs will help expedite vessel
service, which saw backlogs during the height of demand. “While we are beginning to see an anticipated market correction, it is important that GPA moves forward with projects like the Ocean Terminal enhancements to accommodate business growth,” said Joel Wooten, chairman, GPA Board. “Through continued infrastructure improvement, we will ensure the free flow of commerce, and our ability to meet expanding customer demand.” Over the past year, the GPA Board has approved $1.17bn in infrastructure advancements, including expansions to berth, container yard and rail infrastructure.
HOUSTON Harris County Commissioners Court and the Houston City Council have reappointed Ric Campo to serve as chairman of the Port Commission of the Port of Houston Authority of Harris County, Texas. He was first appointed to the position in January 2019. Among the notable achievements during Campo’s tenure was his leadership of Port Houston’s work to widen and deepen the Houston Ship Channel, the $1bn expansion infrastructure programme known as Project 11. “As the nation’s largest port for
waterborne tonnage, the Houston Ship Channel is critically important for our economy as it moves goods in and out of the region,” said Sylvester Turner, Mayor of Houston.
“Ric Campo has been an outstanding
Port Houston chairman for the past several years. Tonnage is up, revenue is up, and the channels are being widened and deepened. I am confident he will continue to guide the strategic development of the Houston Ship Channel in a way that continues to benefit the entire Houston region.” Campo said Port Houston continues to be a major generator of jobs in the region and he is excited about opportunities in 2023 and beyond, continuing work on the $1bn investment in deepening and widening the Houston Ship Channel, and the $1.1bn in landside investments expanding and improving facilities. “We will continue our commitment to excellence in environmental

stewardship, community improvement, and workforce and supplier diversity,” he said.
Campo is chairman of the board and

I look forward to our board working together with the Houston Pilot Association to lay the foundation now, so that we will be prepared and ready to continue safe and efficient ship transits with the projected growth the Project 11 expansion will bring,” he said.
