Diversification of supply chain strategies and new sourcing options continue to have a profound impact on India-U.S. trade, with high expectations for further growth as the U.S. retail industry moves to make India an even bigger part of its long-term growth strategy. With Savannah's strength in serving high-volume import distribution centers driving much of the port's growth, trade between India and the Port of Savannah grew by 163% (loaded containers only) between 2003 and 2007. Beyond Savannah's ability to build and grow with retail business, ocean carrier options serving India's largest U.S. South Atlantic port have proven key to Indian shippers looking to make inroads into the U.S. market.
This portion of the website profiles several downloads to familiarize visitors with Savannah's geographic location and hinterland access by truck and rail, as well as to illustrate the Port of Savannah's depth in service options between Savannah and key Indian ports. Each service profile provides a route map, as well as helpful information on ocean carrier transit times.
When days or even hours can be the difference between markdowns and market share, the Port of Savannah is India's strategic gateway to the U.S.
