South Carolina’s ports are riding a wave of momentum. Buoyed by increasing business, positive customer relations, new shipping services and the deepest water in the Southeast, the Ports of Charleston and Georgetown are on a rising tide.

Strategic Vision

South Carolina’s ports are preparing for the growth of trade in the coming decades through five strategic priorities – each tied to one another – that provide a framework for the ports’ forward momentum.

Navy Base Terminal.

South Carolina has room to grow. Building Charleston’s new, 280-acre container terminal is the top priority for the Ports Authority. The new terminal will boost Charleston’s total container capacity by 50% to as much as 3.75 million TEU / year. Site preparation and construction activities are ongoing with a projected opening during fiscal year 2018 or as demand requires.

Post-45’ Harbor Deepening.

Before diving in, it’s vitally important to know how deep the water really is. While Charleston enjoys the deepest water in the Southeast region today and regularly handles 8,000+-TEU ships drafting up to 48 feet, future harbor deepening is underway and is vital to handling even larger vessels that will be deployed for the U.S. East Coast in the near future.

Stakeholder Relationships.

The port system serves diverse stakeholder groups across the state and around the world. Customer relationships are critical to a successful port, and the South Carolina State Ports Authority team is focused on creative ways to meet customer needs. South Carolina is a pro-port, pro-business state ready to go to work for you.

Financial Sustainability.

For more than 30 years, South Carolina’s ports have been self-supporting and independent of state taxpayer dollars. Retaining this financial sustainability is key to future growth, which is not tied to government budgets. In fact, over the next 10 years, the Ports Authority plans to implement $1.3 billion in capital projects.

Rail Access and Service.

With dual-served rail access by CSX and Norfolk Southern, shippers have cost-effective options and access to various inland markets from Chicago to Houston.

W hether you’re shipping agricultural goods, auto parts,

furniture, vehicles or apparel, the South Carolina Ports sales team delivers on creative solutions to serve each customer’s unique business needs.

Keying in on specific areas of growth, the team has launched several new programs aimed at heavy cargoes and specific business segments.

South Carolina is competitive over-the-road weight on heavy goods to best maximize the shipment of these goods per container. The overweight program – 100,000 gross vehicle weight for all shipping containers – is a key win especially for the region’s agriculture industry that relies on exporting product to overseas markets.

Specific examples of this are in the export of frozen pork

and poultry. Under the permit program, shippers can send refrigerated shipments of up to 100,000 pounds gross vehicle weight with an overweight permit on South Carolina roads. The shipment of grain products, including soy beans, is another area where the overweight permit reduces overall transportation costs for the shipper by maxing out the cubic space within a container.

Also to boost grain shipments – as well as other transload-

optimal commodities like cotton, wood pulp and foodstuffs, the Ports Authority has established a partner program with the area’s local rail-served warehouses, which comprise more than 2.7 million feet of space. The warehouses, served by one or both of the area’s Class 1 railroads, provide a cost-effective solution for shippers transporting these commodities – which can easily be transloaded from a rail car on-site to a shipping container for export.

S outh Carolina has steadily built a solid freight base of in-state shippers, including

some of the world’s top brands. Companies like BMW, Michelin, Boeing and Starbucks have made major investments and put down roots in South Carolina. In 2009 alone, the Palmetto State recruited more than 18,000 new jobs, leading the Southeast in job creation.

Many of these companies have strong ties to the port system, recognizing the key advantages of deep water, market access, a business-friendly environment and room to grow.

Since the early 1990s, BMW has had its only North American manufacturing plant in Greer, SC. Today, after a recent $750-million expansion, the company manufactures and exports the X3, X5 and X6 models worldwide through the Port of Charleston.

Other companies have announced major expansion projects recently, including a $350-million expansion at Michelin and a $100-million expansion at Johnson Controls in Florence, South Carolina.

Similarly, the local distribution cluster is growing by leaps and bounds. A two-million square foot operation for adidas opened in Spartanbug while Gildan Activewear has located its newest distribution center – 700,000 square feet in size – proximate to the Port of Charleston’s facilities.

The largest new distribution development to choose the Charleston area is TBC Corporation, parent company of Tire Kingdom, which is now operating its 1.1 million square foot distribution facility to import tires through the Port of Charleston.

Additionally, major national developers – including Rockefeller, Johnson Development and

Hillwood – are advancing plans to build more than 20 million square feet in new industrial space, a mix of spec and build-to-suit properties, near Charleston’s deepwater port facilities.

Third-party logistics companies also have set their sights on South Carolina. Performance Team is dramatically expanding its operation to include transloading retail goods for Belk stores and Gerber Childrenswear. Moulton Logistics, one of the leading fulfillment logistics companies for direct response television and catalog merchandise orders, has established a distribution operation in the Charleston region.



Y ou’re a site selector working with a major company with a mile-long

list of needs: ample and affordable land, a skilled work force, a business-friendly climate with

incentives for growth, access to major transportation corridors and service at a world-class, deepwater port facility.

Look no further. South Carolina tops the site selector’s list, delivering the resources companies

need to thrive in a competitive global market.

When you choose South Carolina, you’re in good company. Major names like Boeing, adidas, BMW, Fujifilm, Michelin, Daimler and QVC have set up shop in the Palmetto State.

What has brought them here? South Carolina offers the total package: market access, favorable

land and labor conditions, a pro-business climate and the most productive port facilities in the nation.

The state’s strategic location – midway between New York and Miami – give South Carolina great market reach. Within 500 miles, 91 major metropolitan areas provide a thriving and growing consumer base.

The Case for DEEP WATER: Charleston’s harbor advantage

During the past few years, prevailing wisdom in the industry stated that big ships calling on the East Coast was a conversation for 2014 and after. The reality, however, is much different. The Port of Charleston has the deepest water in the Southeast, and regularly handles post-Panamax ships with more than 8,000 TEU capacities and beyond. Post-Panamax is happening now.


In addition, there are virtually no air draft restrictions in the Port of Charleston. Columbus Street Ter-minal has no air draft limitations. Vessels access the port’s largest facility, the Wando Welch Termi-nal, as well as the new terminal under construction at the former Navy Base, by sailing underneath the Ravenel Bridge, which allows for 186 feet (56.7 m) of vertical clearance at mean high water. Ships sailing to North Charleston Terminal transit underneath the Don Holt Bridge, with 155 feet (47.2 m) of air draft.

KeyBenefitsofDeepWater

Deep water is international trade’s new currency. A port with a deep harbor delivers significant benefits for ocean carriers planning where to position their vessels, for shippers developing their supply chains, and for site selectors locat-ing port-dependent projects.

For the ocean carrier, each ad-ditional foot of water means being

able to place 100 additional loaded containers on board the vessel, allowing the carrier to truly maxi-mize a ship’s carrying capacity. In doing so, a carrier can take full advantage of economies of scale and can book more containers per trip, while fuel and crew costs remain relatively constant.

For the shipper, selecting Charleston’s deep-water facilities to move your freight drastically re-duces the risk of capacity shortages and vessel delays, providing a more reliable supply chain for both import and export shipments. Nearly 80 percent of all container capacity on order is post-Panamax. Shippers would be best served to proactively place their freight in Charleston, anticipating trade route re-configuring to utilize Charleston’s deep-water advantage.

Savvy site selectors recognize the trend in international trade and realize that port-dependent projects need to be located closest to facilities able to handle the big ships. That’s why some of the

biggest names in business have chosen South Carolina to locate or expand their facilities.

And that’s also why internationally recognized industrial developers have announced distribution center projects in the area within 30 miles (48.3 km) from the Port of Charleston’s deep-water facilities, totaling more than 20 million square feet of additional Class A industrial distribution space for

the region.

FutureDeepening

In addition to having deep water now, the Port of Charleston is advancing its next harbor deepen-ing project. The project’s recon-naissance study is complete and determined that there is a federal interest in the further deepening of Charleston Harbor.

This is especially pivotal given the rapid growth of the U.S. Southeast region – which is

projected to grow by leaps and bounds in the coming decades. Already, a full 70 percent of the U.S. population resides east of the Mississippi River.

By August 2014, when the new locks of the Panama Canal open for business, goods to serve the Southeast market that tradition-ally were offloaded on the West Coast will likely be re-routed to travel direct to the East Coast all-water. Big-ship economics, the development of the eastern intermodal rail network and in-creasingly competitive intermodal rail services mitigate rising inland transportation costs from the West Coast and other user fees. The potential net for this cargo is an additional one million containers annually. Charleston has ample capacity now and is bringing on an additional 1.4 million TEUs of capacity at a new terminal under construction.

C harleston Harbor has been the city’s key economic driver for more than 300 years. Today, Charleston is regularly handling ships able to carry 8,400 20-foot equivalent units (TEU) with

drafts of up to 48 feet. This will increase in frequency in the years leading up to the multi-billion-dollar Panama Canal expansion opening in 2014, and will accelerate even more afterward.

With the deepest water in the South Atlantic, Charleston offers a main-tained harbor of -45 feet (13.7 meters) of depth at mean low tide through-out the main shipping channel and -47 feet (14.3 m) in the entrance channel. A five to six foot tidal lift provides even deeper access for several hours during the day. The following chart illustrates Charleston’s big ship handling capability throughout the day:

FastAccess

Today’s supply chains rely on fast access and high productivity to keep goods flowing and vessels on schedule. Beyond the depth of the harbor, the Port of Charleston’s terminals are all located very close to the open ocean, providing quick transits for ships sailing in and out. In fact, Charleston’s five ma-rine terminals are all within two hours sailing time from open sea. The port’s two downtown facilities serving cruise, ro/ro, container and breakbulk are only one hour sailing time from the entrance to the harbor.

Productivity continues once the ship is at the dock. Crane produc-tivity at the Port of Charleston is recognized as the industry best, with average port-wide crane moves topping 41 moves per hour, saving ocean carriers time at the dock. Turn times for truckers remain in the 21-22 minute range, with queuing outside the gate averaging nine minutes.

To handle the largest vessels, the Port of Charleston has invested heavily in its dockside infrastruc-ture and has outfitted its three container terminals with 20 container cranes that are post-Pan-amax in size or larger.

Summary:

Big ships aren’t just a thing of the future. They are calling the U.S. East Coast today and will increase their frequency in the coming years. As you plan for your business’ future, place your bets on Charleston – already a sure thing as the Southeast region’s big-ship leader.

SC Ports: LEADing in GrEEN PraCTiCES

Environmentally responsible operations are important now more than ever. At South Carolina Ports, ‘being green’ is more than just a catch phrase – it’s standard operating procedure.


N amed a Top 50 Green Supply Chain Partner by Inbound Logistics

magazine in 2010, the Port of Charleston is leading the Southeast region in its environmental efforts. It starts with a simple premise, that sustainable port operations are good for both the environment and the bottom line.

At the core of fulfilling that environmental mission are diverse, collaborative efforts to improve air quality, water quality, preserve and restore land, protect endangered species and enhance the communities the port serves.

In addition to funding the more than $12-million in environmental programs underway in the Charleston area, the Ports Authority has actively engaged both the state’s environmental regulatory agency and the private sector to dramatically reduce port-related air emissions within the Charleston metro area. The partnership

involves reducing port emissions in a number of ways, including the establishment of grant programs to replace older diesel engines, retrofit equipment or use cleaner fuels in over-the-road trucks and various harbor craft.

These upgrades, totaling $5 million in improvements, are delivering tangible benefits for the participating companies’ bottom lines – in decreased fuel consumption and cost – while also providing a tremendous positive impact to the community’s overall air quality.

Separately, the Ports Authority is pursuing a collaborative truck replacement program, focusing on pre-1994 trucks, drastically reducing related air emissions.

Providing a roadmap for the port’s environmental programs, an organization-wide environmental policy adopted in 2009 provides a framework for the port to operate in an environmentally

sensitive and responsive way. The environmental policy ensures that operational decisions mitigate environmental impacts to the greatest extent possible, and that key stakeholders are involved and engaged in the process.

Choosing an environmentally friendly supply chain partner is important to you. South Carolina Ports’ green successes are well-established and have earned

national acclaim, including the EPA’s national Environmental Justice Achievement Award in 2009, along with accolades from the American Association of Port Authorities, Maritime Association of South Carolina and other respected organizations. We look forward to continued environmental successes alongside you.

W ith the only permitted new port facility under

construction on the entire U.S. East Coast and a 10-year, $1.3-billion capital plan for capacity enhancements at new and existing terminals, the Port of Charleston is paving the way for your next 20 years of growth – and beyond.

A new, 280-acre container terminal on the site of the former Charleston Naval Complex is

currently under construction, with a 171-acre first phase of the project expected to open during fiscal year 2018. At build out, the new terminal will increase total container capacity in the port by a full 50%.

Demolition and preparation activities are well underway to prepare the site. Critical-path construction projects are advancing along a parallel course with market demand and can

be sped up if capacity is needed earlier. The new facility boasts a dedicated port access road connected to Interstate-26, and is within 5 miles (8.2 km) of both Class 1 railroads’ local intermodal yards.

Beyond the new facility at the former Navy Base, recently completed enhancements and planned improvements are creating additional capacity at existing terminals. A new, 25-acre

refrigerated container yard at the Wando Welch Terminal – the port’s largest container facility – has centralized all temperature-controlled cargoes into one area while bringing on a 10% increase in the facility’s capacity. A full 25 acres of shovel-ready property at the Wando Welch Terminal is available for future development as needed.

Beginning in early 2011, a new gate operating structure at all

POrT EXPaNSiONCapacity for the future


Charleston container facilities goes into effect, bringing each facility to the port’s standard common-use operating model, one that has been road-tested for years and has helped cement the port’s reputation as the productivity leader in the nation. This adjustment brings with it cost savings as well as an approximate 15% increase in portwide container space.

South Carolina Ports is committed to enhancing its breakbulk capabilities as well, with part of its capital plan covering improvements to its dedicated breakbulk and project cargo terminals.

Today and for the years to come, South Carolina Ports is ready to grow with you.

When choosing a port, you need a partner that can serve your business needs not only today, but in the years to come as well. You’re in it for the long haul with your sights set on success, and so is South Carolina Ports.

A t South Carolina’s ports, thinking outside the box is second nature. Building

Charleston and Georgetown’s non-container cargo segment is a priority for the South Carolina State Ports Authority.

The key to success in the breakbulk-handling business is customization. South Carolina’s ports offer complete customization with the people, expertise,

equipment and services to handle your project cargo and breakbulk goods – from the smallest shipment to the heaviest load.

With five, multi-purpose, rail-served facilities in the two ports, as well as access to a local heavy-lift crane rated to 500 short tons (one million pounds), the State Ports Authority is boosting its breakbulk business. Upgrades to non-container handling areas are also

included in the Ports Authority’s 10-year, $1.3-billion capital plan.

Leading all non-container efforts for the South Carolina State Ports Authority is Brad Stroble, who after managing the Port of Charleston’s Veterans Terminal, Charleston’s dedicated non-container terminal, now serves as Sales and Marketing Manager of Bulk, Breakbulk and Project Cargo.

Demand for non-container shipments has been strong. Charleston regularly handles breakbulk cargo across various commodity groups, including steel, heavy lift/oversize, defense-related vehicles, finished automobiles, project moves and other general breakbulk cargoes.

Reflecting this, the world’s top carriers in the traditional breakbulk segment – including

BriNGiNG ON BrEaKBulK


Rickmers-Linie, Chipolbrok and Liberty Global Logistics – have service in South Carolina.

For roll-on/roll-off cargo, services by Wallenius Wilhelmsen, ARC, K-Line, Hoegh Autoliners and Liberty Global Logistics provide regular coverage across the North Europe, Mediterranean, Middle East and Asia trade lanes.

The Port of Georgetown, located about 60 miles north of

Charleston, features an on-site manufacturing of wood pellets and briquettes, along with cement storage and enclosed warehouse space to house various bulk and breakbulk commodities.

No matter what size your shipment, South Carolina’s ports are ready. See what we can do for you, and let’s get moving.

visitors to the Holy City. The port’s passenger terminal is conveniently located in the heart of downtown, just steps away from the city’s finest restaurants, shops, museums and attractions, and just one hour sailing time from the open ocean.

Since May of 2010, Charleston has been the home port of the Carnival Fantasy, which offers a year-round cruise calendar with various itineraries to the Caribbean and Bermuda. Charleston has also played host to some of the world’s finest ships, including The World and the Queen Mary 2.

The Port of Charleston is also investing heavily in its cruise infrastructure, with a new hydraulic gangway set for delivery for the 2011 cruise year and major improvements in the works. Current plans include a new, state-of-the-art cruise facility as well as more than 30 redeveloped acres of industrial property in Charleston’s historic district. The new facility is expected to be ready in quarter three, 2012.

T E R M I N A L S

South Carolina Ports offers solutions for all your maritime transportation needs. Whether you are moving containers, breakbulk, roll-on/roll-off, heavy-lift, dry bulk, or project cargo, we have the facilities and expertise to handle it. We offer three container terminals in the Port of Charleston area: Wando Welch, North Charleston, and Columbus Street. Columbus Street handles both container and non-container cargo and will be adding roll-on/roll-off capabilities this year. Union Pier, Veterans Terminal and the Port of Georgetown, 60 miles north of Charleston, offer outstanding non-container handling options. This diversity of terminal locations disperses truck traffic and minimizes congestion experienced at single-terminal ports. For terminal-specific details, see our maps and quick reference information on the following pages.

inland infrastructureBringing the goods to and from

the port is equally important as what happens once it reaches the terminal. South Carolina has well-developed inland infrastructure that delivers cost-effective and efficient transportation by rail or motor carrier serving the fastest-growing region of the country. In fact, more than 60 million people live within 500 miles of South Carolina’s ports today, and reports indicate that the Southeast marketplace is expected to grow by 43 percent in the next 20 years.

South Carolina’s inland connectivity, including two

Class-1 railroads and major interstates, including interstates 85 and 95, provide ample reach to 80% of the U.S. population.

Rail access to the port’s hinterland is provided through Norfolk Southern and CSX, with South Carolina Public Railways providing switching into the port facilities for on-dock intermodal service. Also, just a short truck dray from each of the terminals are two near-dock rail-heads centralized within the Charleston area, providing daily, double-stack rail service to Atlanta, Memphis, Dallas, Charlotte and Kentucky.

Additional rail improvements for the region are in discussion at the state’s highest levels, and enhanced regional rail to serve a growing client base is one of the Ports Authority’s top strategic priorities.

For road-bound cargo, more than 100 local trucking companies are ready to serve your local dray or long-haul needs. With 27 major metropolitan areas within 300 miles, our drive market is rich in automotive, aviation, chemical, furniture, apparel and textile clients. Five major interstate highways are located in South Carolina, providing connections to

the entire U.S. Interstate Highway System. This efficient highway system makes Charleston the top port to serve the manufacturing-rich I-85 corridor from Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina all the way to Atlanta, Georgia. And recent increases in the state’s overweight limits make traveling on South Carolina highways even more efficient.

By road or by rail, South Carolina delivers reliable inland connections.
