MSC extends its commitment to Charleston

The extended agreement solidifies MSC’s place as one of the port’s largest customers and “Signals MSC’s confidence in Charleston’s ability to handle their needs now and well into the future,” said Fred Stribling, SCSPA’s vice president of marketing and sales.

Charleston routinely handles MSC vessels with design drafts of up to 47 feet (14.3 m) and a capacity of 6,700 teu. MSC’s Charleston base is the Wando Welch Terminal, with services to the west Mediterranean, South America, the Caribbean, Africa and Europe and more than 200 vessel calls annually.
