Marine Electrical Service & Technical Parts Supply at the Port of Savannah

The Port of Savannah is the second-busiest container port in the United States by TEU and the largest single-terminal facility in North America at Garden City Terminal, 21 nm up the Savannah River. The federal channel was deepened to 47 ft (54 ft at high tide) under SHEP, allowing fully laden Neo-Panamax and partially laden ULCV calls to MSC, ONE, Maersk and CMA CGM. The river transit is tide-restricted and pilots are conservative — vessels typically wait for high water at the Tybee Roads anchorage, which is also where we attend pre-arrival jobs. Most electrical attendances happen alongside at Garden City; the river current and narrow channel make in-transit work impractical. Common faults: reefer-rack PLC and power-monitoring faults on the high-density reefer ships, bow-thruster VFD work after long Atlantic crossings, BWTS de-ballast faults on tide-window-pressured vessels, and switchboard insulation faults on aging boxships in the secondary string. We routinely attend ABS, DNV, Lloyd's, BV and ClassNK surveys at Garden City.

Engineer on board within 5-8 hours from Florida hub; tide window planning critical.
