CKYH Picks Charleston for New Asia Service

Charleston, SC - The CKYH alliance of ocean carries has picked the Port of
Charleston for a new, weekly container service with coverage across
Northeast Asia.

The AWE-6 is a new service offering for the carrier group, which includes
COSCO, K-Line, Yang Ming and Hanjin. Charleston is the last U.S. port call
on the service, providing South Carolina exporters additional options to
reach markets in Asia, which have demonstrated increasing demand for
products from the U.S. Southeast.

"Exporters from this area are finding additional trade opportunities in
Asia, and we have been heavily marketing the Port of Charleston for more
shipping services in that trade lane," said Jim Newsome, president and CEO
of the South Carolina Ports Authority, which owns and operates the Port of
Charleston. "Our state not only has goods that are attractive to overseas
markets, but we are also ideally positioned to serve a broad import base
across several states in the region."

Shippers will be able to take advantage of direct trade routes to Yantian,
Ningbo and Shanghai in China as well as Pusan, South Korea via the Panama
Canal.

The carriers will deploy nine ships for the service, which will add 52 ship
calls a year at North Charleston Terminal. The first Charleston call is
expected around June 19.

About the South Carolina Ports Authority:
The South Carolina Ports Authority, established by the state's General
Assembly in 1942, owns and operates public seaport facilities in Charleston
and Georgetown, handling international commerce valued at more than $58
billion annually while receiving no direct taxpayer subsidy. An economic
development engine for the state, port operations facilitate 260,800 jobs
across South Carolina and nearly $45 billion in economic activity each
year. For more information, visit http://www.scspa.com.
