NEWS ARTICLES:
Report: Jasper terminal could earn $2.3 billion by 2020
By Molly Parker , Daily Journal Staff
A port in Jasper County could generate about $2.3 billion in net earnings
by 2020, enough to pay down the bonds for the first stage of
construction, according to a preliminary analysis from a nationally
recognized port consulting firm.
Without it, demand will exceed shipping capacity in Georgia and South
Carolina by 2024, says the study, conducted by Moffatt & Nichol’s
Savannah office.
The ongoing study was paid for by the Jasper Ocean Terminal Joint Project
Office, the bistate venture charged with determining how and when South
Carolina’s and Georgia’s port authorities should go about building a
terminal on the S.C. side of the Savannah River on roughly 1,500 acres
they jointly own.
The point of the analysis was to forecast demand and associated revenue
and determine the point in time those lines would cross to support the
initial phase of construction, said Bill Bethea Jr., the project office’s
vice chairman.
“What we’re asking them to do as we continue with the other elements of
planning is to be constantly refining that data and digging deeper to
test the data so we can keep that as a barometer,” Bethea said. “It can
help us keep our eye on the endgame.”
When fully developed, the Jasper terminal would be able to handle 6
million 20-foot equivalent units, according to the Lowcountry Economic
Alliance, an organization formed by Beaufort and Jasper counties’
councils to help the region compete for global business investment.
By comparison, in fiscal 2008, the Port of Savannah handled about 2.6
million TEUs and the Port of Charleston about 1.7 million TEUs.
“This early report shows just how valuable a Jasper port could be to this
region,” Jasper County administrator Andrew Fulghum said. “Investment of
$2.3 billion and 6 million TEUs are huge numbers. But we’re not
surprised. Jasper County long has known that this port had the capability
of reshaping the economies of the Lowcountry, South Carolina and Georgia.”
Without the Jasper terminal, unmet demand would grow to 10 million TEUs
by the year 2032, the analysis says. This was determined assuming a
container volume growth rate of about 6.7% per year through 2025, and a
growth rate of about 5.3% between 2025 and 2050. These projected growth
rates exceed those expected for the nation as a whole because of the
growing East Coast population, the analysis says.
