SCPA handles record 189,315 TEU in April
SOUTH Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA), which owns and operates the ports of Charleston, Georgetown and Greer, handled 189,315 TEU last month, its strongest April container volumes on record and the second highest month in the port authority's history.
The latest data from SCPA shows that nearly 1.8 million TEU have been moved through SCPA's two container terminals since last July, an increase of 10.2 per cent from the same period in the previous fiscal year.
SCPA, which has a fiscal year that runs from July 1 to June 31, moved 107,340 pier containers in April and one million pier containers fiscal year to date, a 10.3 per cent bump from the same period last year.
In non-containerised cargo, SCPA's fiscal year-to-date tonnage in Charleston reached 689,220 tonnes in April, with 54,426 breakbulk tonnes for the month. Its breakbulk business segment is now 6.3 per cent ahead of planned fiscal-year volumes through April, said SCPA.
Inland Port Greer also experienced its highest April throughput ever with 11,125 rail moves last month. The inland intermodal facility has seen volumes grow 27.6 per cent year over year to 95,999 rail moves in the current fiscal year, American Shipper reported.
