THE South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) handled 179,856 TEU in September, up 10 per cent compared to the same month last year, and and its strongest September on record, the port authority said.
For the first quarter of SCPA's fiscal year 2018, which ran from July 1 through September 30, it handled 539,995 TEU, up nearly 4 per cent year over year, American Shipper reported.
The port authority moved 305,648 pier containers during the quarter, up 4.2 per cent over the previous same period.
Meanwhile, over at Inland Port Greer in the northwest region of South Carolina, SCPA handled 30,401 rail moves during the quarter, up nearly 16 per cent year over year.
SCPA's Port of Charleston is called by 29 liner services connecting it to regions outside of North America, including 24 services deploying fully cellular containerships and five services deploying pure car/truck carriers, according to ocean carrier schedule and capacity database BlueWater Reporting's Port Dashboard tool.
Just last month, SCPA president and CEO Jim Newsome discussed the port authority's plans for volume growth and infrastructure investments at the annual State of the Port address.
