The vessel has a carrying capacity of more than 16,000 twenty-foot equivalent container units. Featuring nearly 10,000 feet of contiguous dock space, 30 ship-to-shore cranes, and 1,345 acres of container yard space, the Port of SavannahÕs Garden City Terminal is perfectly suited to handling vessels in the 16,000-TEU class.
