The Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) is the port authority for the State of Georgia. It was founded by an act of the Georgia General Assembly in 1945 and chaired by Blake R. Van Leer.[2][3] The GPA operates all seven of Georgia's rail and sea port facilities.
Georgia's primary deepwater ports are located in Savannah and Brunswick, supplemented by two inland container trans-load facilities, with a third to open in 2021.[4]
