Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Port of Brunswick as the busiest port in the Nation for heavy equipment and auto shipments. Mr. Speaker, 2024 was a record year for the Port of Brunswick, handling more than 2 million tons of cargo, 600,000 tons of exports, and about 900,000 tons of roll-on, roll-off units of autos and heavy equipment. New infrastructure and strengthened partnerships contributed to the port's significant growth in many areas including upgraded storage capacity to allow for 160 percent increase in heavy equipment shipping. Georgia's ports promise auto manufacturers world-class service and long-term gains for their business. In addition to the growth already recorded, the Port of Brunswick is continuing to make improvements to keep up with the rise in manufacturing and growing population including an upgraded shipping channel to prepare Brunswick to handle larger vessels. The First District of Georgia is proud to be the home of the Nation's busiest port for heavy equipment and auto shipments, and I look forward to the continued excellence of the Port of Brunswick. Honoring Brynn Grant
