South Carolina Ports Authority celebrates strong start to FY20

Last month was recorded as South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA)’s strongest July in Port history, with volumes up 5% year-on-year at its Wando Welch and North Charleston container terminals.

The two facilities handled 210,542 teu within the month and, as measured by the total number of boxes handled, SCPA moved 119,700 pier containers in July – also up 5%.

SCPA president and CEO Jim Newsome said: “We accomplished so much in fiscal year 2019, including record cargo volumes and rail moves. We are excited to see fiscal year 2020 starting off so strong.
