Investments in South Carolina Ports


Works to upgrade of the Wando Welch Terminal at the Port of Charleston (South Carolina Ports) are coming to a close. The fifteenth and final crane was recently moved into position along the waterfront.

 

With five cranes to a berth, Wando Welch Terminal is now capable of handling working three 14,000 teu vessels simultaneously. The new ship-to-shore cranes have about 47 m of lift height and the ability to reach out over 22 containers. These cranes are a key part of SC Ports’ USD 500 million investment to modernise Wando Welch Terminal.

 

SC Ports handled 216,000 teu and 120,000 pier containers at Wando Welch Terminal, North Charleston Terminal and Leatherman Terminal in July 2022. (sh)
