Charleston port 'doing it right'
Logistics exec: It's best for big ships
By David Slade
dslade@postandcourier.com
Wednesday, March 7, 2012
As the head of the company that handled the first sale of U.S.-grown cotton
to China three decades ago, William Dunavant III knows more than a little
about global trade and logistics, and he believes the Port of Charleston is
headed in the right direction.
His privately held Dunavant Enterprises, of Memphis, was long known as a
top international cotton trader, selling between $1.2 billion and $1.7
billion in domestic and international cotton yearly through 2010. That
year, Dunavant sold its cotton operations but kept its logistics company
and other concerns, and now focuses on international shipping from East
Coast and Gulf Coast ports.
Speaking at a Rotary Club of Charleston luncheon Tuesday, Dunavant said the
widening and deepening of the Panama Canal, which could be completed in
2014, "is probably the greatest opportunity in history for East Coast ports."
"Your port gets it," he said.
The Port of Charleston is pursuing a plan to deepen the shipping channel to
50 feet or more, from the current 45 feet, to accommodate the massive
container ships that will soon be able to transit the Panama Canal.
Dunavant echoed local frustrations with the projected timeline of the
"Post-45" deepening project.
"If you've dredged your port one time, why does it take 15 years to get
permission to dredge it again," he said.
The United States is competing with China, which has few limitations --
environmental, legal or otherwise -- in getting massive public works
projects completed quickly, Dunavant said.
The Army Corps of Engineers has said the earliest the Charleston harbor
could be deepened is 2024, and that's if there are no roadblocks related to
funding or environmental studies.
Dunavant said he's "bullish" on Charleston because the port already is
well-positioned for larger ships, with the deepest port on the Southeast coast.
At high tide, the Charleston port already can handle mega-ships drafting 48
feet.
"It sounds to me like you all are doing it right, and have a plan to get it
done," Dunavant said during his remarks at The Citadel's Holliday Alumni
Center.
"I think Jacksonville is going to have a problem," he said, referring to
the container port in north Florida. "Savannah has issues."
Both ports are, like Charleston, pursuing plans to deepen their shipping
channels.
Looking to the future, Dunavant said there should be great opportunities
for agricultural exports, due to China's growing middle class.
"The greatest challenge for China is food," he said.
