SOUTH Carolina Ports has received its first shipment of chassis, marking the next stage in its SC Ports-owned and operated SMART chassis fleet, reports the American Journal of Transportation.
"There has never been more of a need for chassis in the supply chain," said South Carolina Ports CEO Jim Newsome. "This is a true reflection of our commitment to creative solutions and ensures efficient and fluid operations."
This initial shipment delivers more than 700 chassis with another 1,600 expected to arrive this month. South Carolina Ports will continue receiving chassis equipment throughout 2022 as the port builds its fleet leading up to the full launch of the SMART chassis pool in 2023.
SC Ports continues to work with the management of the existing South Atlantic Chassis Pool, SACP 2.0, to create a smooth transition that will ensure uninterrupted service for our ocean carrier customers, shippers and truckers.
"The delivery of these chassis marks a new era for South Carolina Ports," said South Carolina Ports operations chief Barbara Melvin.
The chassis arrived at the Hugh K Leatherman Terminal aboard the Liberty Promise after a 40-day journey from Vietnam-based manufacturer THACO Special Vehicle. Dorsey Intermodal partnered with THACO Special Vehicle to increase manufacturing capacity.
"We are humbled to be part of the team bringing South Carolina Ports' chassis fleet to fruition," said Dorsey president JP Pierson.
