There are two deep water Atlantic ports in Georgia: (1) The first and most active port is the Port of Savannah. It is located along the east and west sides of the Savannah River. It is nestled smartly between the Port of Jacksonville and the Port of Charleston. The Garden City Terminal boasts the largest container vessel facility in the United States and services vessels owned by Maersk, Cosco and others. (2) Ocean’s Terminal is a 10-Berth Facility for loading and unloading of forest and solid wood products, steel, industrial and farm equipment, automobiles, project shipments and heavy-lift cargoes. Additional Ports are Colonel’s Island Terminal Ro-Ro, Colonel’s Island Terminal Agri-Bulk, Mayor’s Port Terminal, Marine Port Terminal Bulk in Brunswick, Georgia; Port Columbus in Columbus Georgia and Port Bainbridge obviously in Bainbridge, Georgia. Any United States flagged vessels where a seaman injures himself will be governed by maritime law, specifically the Jones Act, and that seaman needs a Jones Act lawyer that can help them.
Ocean going tugboats are also numerous in Georgia. Dann Ocean Towing has a large array of vessels in its fleet. From dredge or dredging vessels to inland waterway and blue water ocean going tugs. Dann’s operations encompass the US East Coast, Canada, US Gulf and Caribbean. Their vessels have even been assigned to work in other areas such as New York, NY, Philadelphia, PA, Norfolk, VA and the US Gulf. Just some of its fleet is the: Allie B., Captain Dann, Comet, Neptune, Ruby M, Sarah Dann, Shannon Dann, Stephanie Dann, Stephen Dann, and the Colonel. All of these vessels must be manned under the United States Coast Guard manning requirements with able bodied Seaman, deck hands, Captains and First Mates. Maritime work is dangerous and constantly causes injuries. When you suffer an injury, you need a maritime lawyer that can represent you in Georgia or perhaps even other legal venues. You need the 40 years of experience.
