SOUTH Carolina Ports Authority saw steady container volumes in early 2020 and recorded the highest February ever for both cargo volumes and rail moves at inland ports.
SC Ports moved 197,214 TEU across the Wando Welch and North Charleston container terminals in February. SCPA has handled 1.64 million TEU thus far in fiscal year 2020, from July through February, a four per cent increase from the same time a year ago.
As measured by the total number of boxes handled, SCPA moved 110,927 pier containers in February. The port has handled 924,526 pier containers in fiscal year 2020.
Loaded export TEU were up 20 per cent and loaded import TEU were up about 14 per cent over last February, both of which are record levels for that month.
Vehicle volumes are up 26 per cent year on year with a total of 149,340 vehicles handled thus far in fiscal year 2020. The port moved 18,156 vehicles at Columbus Street Terminal in February.
SC Ports handled 468,319 pier tons of breakbulk in fiscal year 2020, up 22 per cent year on year.
SC Ports' two rail-served inland terminals both saw record activity in February. Inland Port Greer reported 13,749 rail moves in February for a total of 99,920 rail moves in fiscal year 2020, up 18 per cent year on year. Inland port Dillon reported 3,068 rail moves in February for a total of 22,893 rail moves in fiscal year 2020, up 22 per cent.
Said ports authority CEO Jim Newsome: "These volumes are bright spots amid much uncertainty in the global market. While we do expect our volumes will be down in March and April due to the coronavirus, we anticipate a rebound in May and June to finish the year above plan."
