THERE have been 12 consecutive months of record volumes at South Carolina Ports, with the ports handling 230,420 TEU at Wando Welch Terminal, North Charleston Terminal, and Hugh K Leatherman Terminal in February, up 26 per cent year over year, according to the port authority.
South Carolina Ports Authority moved over 1.87 million TEU thus far in the fiscal year 2022, from July through February, up 16 per cent year on year.
'February marked the 12th consecutive month of monthly year-on-year container records,' said SC Ports CEO Jim Newsome.
'With record throughput volumes, we continue to experience a high number of import containers awaiting delivery on our terminals. We remain focused on creative solutions and executing our vital infrastructure projects, including the completion of the Charleston Harbour Deepening Project this fall, initiating construction on the rail-served Navy Base Intermodal Facility and inner-harbor barge project, and advancing towards a quick completion of the Inland Port Greer expansion project.'
'Together, with our teammates, broader maritime community, and motor carriers, we continue to work through this unprecedented time of supply chain challenges,' said Mr Newsome.
'The strength of our port continues to be in our highly skilled workforce and how we adapt collectively to keep freight moving.
