Georgia ports are prepared to absorb cargo diverted from Baltimore following the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse earlier this week.

It could take some time to determine where shipments will be rerouted, but auto companies have already contacted the Port of Brunswick about transferring car shipments.

Cargo ships could be sent to Georgia’s seaports in Savannah and Brunswick as a result.
