DEEP WATER PORTS

Waycross is ideally located near four deep water ocean ports. Georgia’s deep water ports in Savannah and Brunswick continue to grow in importance as major transportation hubs for the movement of international commerce. Location weighs heavily as a contributing factor of sustained growth in businesses that access Georgia’s ports. The Brunswick, Georgia port is less than one hour away, and the Savannah, Georgia port is less than two hours away.

The Jacksonville and Fernandina Beach, Florida ports are just over an hour away. More cargo crossed the docks of the Jacksonville Port Authority last year than ever before, setting a new tonnage record of 5,706,854 tons. Each of these ports is accessible by four-lane highways from all our parks. Direct rail line access is also available from all our industrial parks. The Okefenokee Area’s location makes shipping by water an easy and affordable alternative for any business.
