2021 was a banner year for The Port of Virginia, SC Ports and Alabama Port Authority.

Fiscal year 2021 was not only a banner year for South Carolina Ports but also a roller coaster one as volume lows in July 2020 transitioned quickly to record number of TEUs handled.

South Carolina Ports is touting two new export facilities projects that will have access to the Port of Charleston: a production facility and distribution center for winemaker Gallo and an agricultural transload facility run by Northwest Grains.

In the next two weeks, only two container ships are slated to berth at the new Leatherman Terminal. Forty are scheduled at the Port of Charleston’s neighboring Wando Welch Terminal.

“Our all-time container record reinforces that we are adding more capacity to the Port of Charleston at the right time,” says South Carolina Ports CEO Jim Newsome.

“As we continue to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, now is the time to accelerate our throughput and growth,” says Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf.

“We’ve had helicopters land on our terminal and we open the container and take one part out, put it on the helicopter and a helicopter flies to the plant. You just can’t do that in nonoperating ports.”
