RoRo vs container: which shipping method is better?
US departure ports and typical costs
Transit times from the US to Georgia
The ocean journey from the US to Georgian ports takes 25–45 days depending on the route. East Coast ports (Savannah, Baltimore) to Poti or Batumi via the Black Sea: 25–35 days. West Coast (Los Angeles) to Poti via Suez Canal: 35–45 days. Gulf Coast (Houston): 30–40 days. Add 5–10 business days for inland US transport from the auction yard to the port. Total from auction win to port arrival in Georgia: approximately 35–55 days.
Full timeline: from auction win to driving your car in Georgia — plan for 45–70 days including customs clearance and registration.
Poti vs Batumi port: which is better?
Both Georgian ports receive car shipments from the US. Poti is Georgia's primary cargo port and processes more vehicle volume — most RoRo vessels dock here. Batumi handles mainly container shipments and has a smaller terminal. In practice, both work equally well for car imports. The difference is 1–3 days at most. Your shipping company will route to whichever port has the best vessel schedule for your departure date.
