Strategic Departure Points

Our New Jersey and Florida facilities offer distinct advantages for shipping to Georgia:

  • New Jersey: Ideal for East Coast exporters, with direct Atlantic routes to Poti (35–45 days transit).

  • Florida: Closer proximity to Georgia, reducing transit times and fuel costs.

Both locations provide:

  • Weekly consolidated container departures

  • 30 days of free storage before loading

  • Nationwide vehicle pickup to our secure facilities

Cost Efficiency

Shipping from these ports cuts expenses significantly compared to West Coast routes. For example:

Route Cost per Vehicle Transit Time
Florida to Poti $1,100–$1,800 35–45 days
New Jersey to Poti $1,250–$2,000 40–50 days
 
These rates include container loading, ocean freight, and basic liability coverage.

How Consolidated Containers Save You 50%

Our weekly container consolidation service from NJ and FL allows multiple importers to share space, dramatically lowering costs:

  • Shared 40ft containers: Split costs with 2–4 vehicles per box.

  • Guaranteed departures: No last-minute delays.

  • No chassis fees: We own our chassis fleet, eliminating hidden charges.

For example, shipping three cars from Florida in a shared container costs $1,450 each, versus $2,800 for a dedicated container.

Pro Tip: Use our instant rate calculator to lock in prices for 30 days.

Why Poti Port Dominates Georgia’s Auto Imports

Poti handles 70% of Georgia’s vehicle imports due to:

  • No congestion: Faster unloading than Batumi.

  • Re-export infrastructure: Easy onward transport to Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Central Asia.
