SC Ports Break Another Record, Inland Port Greer Sets One of Its Own: The S.C. Ports Authority had another busy month last month, posting "the strongest March in its history" and the second highest month moving TEUs (20-foot equivalent container units, i.e. your typical cargo container). The TEU record was posted in last October when SCPA moved 217,035 steel boxes; last month, they moved 214,123.
Things were also good at Inland Port Greer, which set a new record, 14,522 rail lifts, besting the June 2017 record of 13,060.The SCPA continues to play a major role in the growing logistics industry, an economic sector that has a statewide economic
impact of $32.9 billion, 600 firms, and 113,000 workers bringing home a total compensation of $5.4 billion annually, according to a 2017 study from SC Logistics, a division of the S.C. Council on Competitiveness. And those figures make logistics a bigger industry than aerospace ($19 billion economic impact/22,000 workers) and automotive ($27 billion/61,000 workers).
Once completed, the current Charleston Harbor Deepening Project will likely lead to more logistics growth in South Carolina. ***
