Volumes up in South Carolina

South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) handled 167,398 teu in January, reporting growth of 1.8% over the fiscal year beginning last July.

SCPA president and CEO Jim Newsome said: “Strength in global container trade continues to drive increases in the Port’s container volumes, and at the current pace SCPA is on track to achieve a combined 12 percent growth rate over two fiscal years.”

The Wando Welch Terminal will soon receive two neo-Panamax cranes while construction on the Charleston Harbour Deeepening project is set to begin too.
