Denmark's AP Moller-Maersk has launched a new 20,000 square feet Ground Freight Station in Savannah, strengthening its integrated logistics network across the US, reports London's Port Technology International.
The facility, equipped with three docks and a dedicated fleet, will provide pickup and delivery services in the Savannah market, aiming to improve speed, reliability and local control for customers.
Savannah serves as a key link in Maersk's US network, anchored by the Port of Savannah, one of North America's fastest-growing gateways. The site offers direct access to I-95 and I-16, connecting to major Southeastern markets including Atlanta, Jacksonville, Charleston and Charlotte.
The new station complements Maersk's existing Contract Logistics sites in Savannah and follows recent Ground Freight openings in Lake City, Georgia, and Dallas-Fort Worth creating a regional network of integrated services.
Bob Livingston, Head of Maersk Ground Freight Operations in North America, said the opening reflects the company's commitment to building a stronger logistics network across the US, with Savannah playing a central role in simplifying supply chains.
In November, Maersk also inaugurated its flagship logistics centre in Shanghai's Lin-gang area, marking one of its largest global warehousing investments.
