    The dredge ship you see is the cutter suction dredge Hampton Roads. She has been working in the port for several years deepening the port for large container ships. They started a port expansion project in the late 2010s and are finished with the main project but keep finding parts they want to further deepen. When you have rival ports like Norfolk going to 56 feet so that the large ships don’t have to wait on tide and such, the port business is very competitive. With that said, the Port of Savanna has grown significantly and is now the 3rd busiest container port in the US. In addition to good port facilities, it had both good rail and road connections. Little wonder it has grown so much.

      The Hampton Roads has only done maintenance dredging in the Savannah harbor.

    Years ago, I was working at one of the hotels in Savanna, and I was awestruck at the ships going by. This particular hotel had a 10 story glassed in atrium, and I believe it was a car carrier. It was orange and was as tall as the building . I enjoyed my time in Savanna, lots of history. Beautiful city.

    Thanks. One of my treats is to watch ships come and go on the river when we visit Savannah. I had duty on a merchant ship when I was in the Navy and just loved pulling into ports throughout the world. It was the Meritime Prepositioning Ships Squadron One. The ships were roll on and roll off ships. Four ships in a squadron and the ships crew were merchant marines with a Navy detachment and a their party to maintain the Marine Corp equipment. We would travel to an operations area and drift for 45 days or so before going into a port to replenish food and fuel.
