Georgia Ports Authority is leaning on US exporters to pitch in to help reduce congestion at the port of Savannah.
It is moving to fixed dates for export containers to be dropped off at the port, reducing the leeway exporters have to bring in their boxes.
The port authority is also working with ocean carriers to align drop-off times, in a bid to reduce the likelihood of shipments getting rolled.
