Record number of containers as a birthday present
South Carolina Ports in USA celebrated the five-year anniversary of Inland Port Dillon with a record number of containers handled at the rail-served inland port in March this year. The creation of Inland Port Dillon follows the success of SC Ports’ first inland port in Greer, which opened in 2013.
SC Ports invested in its second inland port in Dillon, which opened with Harbor Freight Tools as the anchor tenant. The terminal provides importers and exporters with a direct connection to the Port of Charleston via CSX rail.
Inland Port Dillon handled 193,085 teu and 107,084 pier containers in March, for a total of nearly 2 million teu and around 1.09 million pier containers handled fiscal-year-to-date. SC Ports also handled 15,692 vehicles last month. (ben)
