FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

October Volumes Up at Port of Charleston
Charleston, SC – Container volume at the Port of Charleston increased 6%
in October, despite broader economic challenges.
In October, the Port of Charleston’s three container facilities handled
146,878 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs), an increase of nearly 6% from
the same month last year and a gain of more than 16% from the previous
month.
“Given the volume trends both here and across the country, it’s somewhat
of a pleasant surprise,” said Bernard S. Groseclose Jr., president and
CEO of the S.C. State Ports Authority (SCSPA), following Tuesday’s Board
meeting. “We certainly wish this were a trend, but based on what our
customers are telling us, it's more likely an aberration.”
Loaded import container volume was up 4% from the same month last year
and up 17% from the previous month. Loaded exports declined slightly,
dropping 1% from October 2007 and falling 3% from the previous month.
Breakbulk tons also rallied in October, with 114,359 tons of cargo moved
at the SCSPA’s facilities in Charleston and Georgetown. This represents a
47% gain over the same month in 2007.
