Despite a soft economy, the Port of Savannah is still posting record growth. The Georgia Ports Authority says the Savannah port moved more than 2.6 million cargo containers in fiscal year 2008. That's its largest volume ever, up nearly 15 percent from the previous year. The numbers strengthen the Savannah port's standing as the fourth largest seaport in America.
