Colonels Island Terminal
No. 1 Ro/Ro gateway in the nation
Colonels Island Terminal ranks not only as the nation’s largest auto facility, but it’s also one of the country’s most environmentally conscious. As a dedicated Ro/Ro facility, the terminal is the busiest port in the U.S. for total Ro/Ro cargo. Owned and operated by the Georgia Ports Authority, the facility has three berths, with a fourth berth under construction, and four on-terminal auto processors.
Superior service and unmatched connectivity are driving growth at Georgia’s deepwater ports. Georgia Ports Authority’s 24-hour, 7-day-a-week operation ensures the free flow of cargo to markets across the Southeastern U.S. and beyond. In Fiscal Year 2025, GPA moved more than 871,000 units of autos, and more than 27,200 units of heavy machinery.
