Georgia Port Trucking Insurance

    UIIA-Compliant Port & Intermodal Coverage for Georgia Drayage Carriers

    The Port of Savannah is Georgia's dominant freight gateway and the fastest-growing container port in the United States. Georgia port trucking carriers move containers between Garden City Terminal, Ocean Terminal, Mason Mega Rail intermodal, and distribution centers across Atlanta, the Carolinas, and Florida. Atlantic coast hurricane exposure and rapid port growth require specialty insurance market access beyond what standard carriers can provide.

    Same-day COI filings available. Coverage subject to underwriting.
