MSC Commits to Charleston Through 2017
The South Carolina State Ports Authority (SCSPA) and Mediterranean
Shipping Company (MSC), the world's second-largest container carrier,
have signed a new agreement for business in the Port of Charleston
through 2017.
The extended agreement solidifies MSC's place as one of the port's
largest customers and supports hundreds of high-paying jobs across the
Charleston maritime community.
"The South Carolina State Ports Authority is focused on bringing new
business and jobs to the state" said David Posek, Chairman of the
SCSPA. "This agreement does both."
Charleston, with the deepest water on the South Atlantic coast, routinely
handles MSC vessels with design drafts up to 47 feet and capacity for
6700 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs). The first phase of a new, 280-acre
container terminal is slated to open in 2014.
In March, MSC dedicated its new 45,000 square-foot South Atlantic
headquarters in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. The company directly
employs about 250 professionals in Charleston, with the potential to grow
that figure in the future.
