Container drop expected to be 20%
Board hears dire projections, but also gets word on possible new business
in Georgetown

Even State Ports Authority board members looked shocked when staff shared
the agency's expected container volume decline this year: nearly 20 percent.

The SPA's fiscal year ends July 30, and the board learned the dour
projections at a meeting Tuesday. And South Carolina is hardly alone, as
many ports around the world, wracked by the recession and the crimp in
demand for consumer goods, are seeing steep volume declines.
"The downturn is spread across every single trade lane in every port," said
Fred Stribling, vice president of marketing and sales.
The rest of the agency's agenda focused on moving forward, covering
everything from developments in new terminal construction to luring cruise
business and additional customers at the underused Port of Georgetown.
Paul McClintock, the newly hired senior vice president and chief commercial
officer told the board that the SPA secured five potential customers for
Georgetown, an increasingly stagnant maritime facility.
The new business, in bulk and breakbulk cargo, could generate $5.4 million
in revenue and 300 new jobs, McClintock said.

But in order to close the deal, the SPA must show that plans exist to
deepen the waterway. At 21 feet in some places, the port must be dredged
another six feet to secure the contracts, according to McClintock.
"There is a lot of business riding on this, and I'd hate to see it go
away," he said. He added that the federal government might never invest in
dredging if Georgetown loses potential customers in the meantime.
McClintock said the SPA plans to make a presentation soon to the Army Corps
of Engineers, which handles harbor maintenance.
Another underused facility, the Port of Charleston cruise terminal, is
moving closer to redevelopment as the SPA wraps up its bidding process for
the Union Pier master plan.
Peter Lehman, director of planning and business development, said officials
with the SPA, the city of Charleston and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
recently toured the terminal and surrounding property with seven companies
bidding on the contract.
Lehman also described meetings with two cruise lines in a recent trip to
Miami. While Celebrity Cruises already plans to return to Charleston this
fall, Carnival Cruise Lines "is looking to expand operations at the port,"
Lehman said.
State Transportation Department Secretary Buck Limehouse, a non-voting
board member, said at Tuesday's meeting that his agency continues to make
progress on a port access road for a new terminal planned for the former
Navy base in North Charleston, despite recent controversy.
The Coastal Conservation League and the Southern Environmental Law Center
on Monday requested an injunction to halt construction on the terminal
until the Federal Highway Administration evaluates proposed traffic
patterns to it, including the access road.
Project manager David Kinard said the transportation department plans to
get highway administration approval on an interchange modification report
within the coming weeks and to move forward with acquiring 70 properties
along the route of the proposed road.
None of those properties is a private home.
