Third-party logistics provider Performance Team will open a container transloading facility at the Port of Charleston to shuttle cargo from ocean containers to truck trailers for distribution throughout the Southeast.
Performance Team will operate from the Wando Welch Terminal’s container freight station and handle both import and export cargo.
Performance Team said transloading cargo onsite will increase its efficiency, reduce costs, and get retail imports to market faster. The company said it has seen an increase of up to 50 percent in its national transloading activities this year.
The company, based in Santa Fe Springs, Calif., operates more than 5 million-square-feet of warehouse space across the country, including a 250,000-square-foot warehouse in Goose Creek, S.C., close to its new port operation.
