The SCPA also reported that since the fiscal year began in July the port moved 864,970 TEU, a rise of four per cent over the same period in 2015, the Palmetto Business Daily, covering of South Carolina.
As measured in pier containers, or boxes handled, SCPA also broke previous November volume records by moving 99,041 boxes last month. Fiscal year-to-date pier container volume is up four per cent, with 487,924 boxes moved at its North Charleston and Wando Welch container terminals.
SCPA's strongest November on record was 163,121 TEU handled in 2005.
SCPA president and CEO Jim Newsome said: "The port had a record November of close to 100,000 pier containers with continued year-on-year growth in the loaded container segment and the resurgence of empty exports through calls by extra loader vessels.
"We are ahead of plan for the fiscal year 2017 but expect a seasonally modest December through February as lines adjust to slowing world trade and prepare for new alliance deployments."
