September 17, 2021 - Dulany Industries, Inc. recently announced that SeaPoint Industrial Terminal Complex will welcome NANTRenewables as a new tenant.
NANTRenewables, a manufacturer of a variety of renewable biobased products, will invest up to $29 million to build a new bioplastics manufacturing plant on an 8.5-acre, rail-served parcel at the SeaPoint Complex. This new facility will focus production on NANTRenewables’ biogenic fillers and biodegradable resins, which not only replace hydrocarbon resins but also significantly reduce the carbon footprints associated with mining and processing.

SeaPoint Terminal Industrial Complex recently received authorization from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to construct a new private marine terminal along a one-mile embankment in the Port of Savannah, the third fastest-growing port in the nation. The berth, located on the main shipping channel at 47-foot depth, will support manufacturing operations like NANTRenewables, allowing companies to reduce or eliminate drayage by utilizing all modes of transportation, including vessels.
NANTRenewables’ location decision as well as federal approval for a deepwater berth are important milestones in SeaPoint’s revitalization of the former Tronox/Kerr McGee Savannah site into a deepwater, multi-tenant complex. With more than 600 acres of land for development, a mile of deepwater access, existing rail, utilities, and office buildings in a federal Opportunity Zone, SeaPoint Industrial Terminal Complex is transforming this once fallow industrial site into a major long-term economic driver for Chatham County and the state of Georgia.
