SCPA's May volume up 9.4 per to 182,452 TEU, setting new monthly record

THE South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) moved a record 182,452 TEU in May, surpassing its record May 2015 volumes of 181,809 TEU.

The result in May has pushed the fiscal year-to-date volumes past its total FY2016 volumes with one month still remaining in the 2017 fiscal period. 



The port has moved 1.96 million TEU since its fiscal year began in July 2016, representing a 9.4 per cent increase over the same period last year. 



The port is "on pace" to reach record volumes of about 2.1 million TEU for its fiscal year 2016, said SCPA president and CEO Jim Newsome, reported American Shipper. 



"As measured in pier containers, or boxes handled, SCPA moved a record 103,462 containers across the docks of its two container terminals in May. The port has handled 1.1 million pier containers fiscal year to date," the port authority said.
