<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">The Port of Charleston's container volume growth outpaced the market by a significant margin in CY2013. Charleston finished the year handling 1,601,366 TEU, up
6% over CY2012. Notably, the Port of Charleston gained an amazing 72% share of all container volume growth in its competitive port range since CY2011. Key points:
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">• For the period 2011-2013, the region's ports grew a combined total of 306,423 TEU.
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">• Of that, Charleston earned 220,018 TEU or 72% of the growth.
<span-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">• The increase is a result of an aggressive commercial position, which simultaneously targets new clients and commodity lines from discretionary markets,
efforts to capture all inland-favorable freight, and economic development to grow the freight base.
