MSC Adds New Suez Service in Charleston
Photo at http://tinyurl.com/ykw4rsq
Charleston, SC – MSC has added a new weekly Asia service through the Suez
Canal to Charleston, the deepest seaport in the Southeast.
Beginning in February, Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), the world’s
second-largest container carrier, will begin calling Charleston on its
Golden Gate Service (GGS). The service between the U.S. East Coast and
Asia currently deploys 12 post-Panamax vessels with capacity of 6,050
20-foot equivalent units (TEUs).
“Charleston's deep, wide channels and excellent productivity make it a
natural fit for this service,” said Allen Clifford, executive vice
president of MSC (USA). “MSC and our customers have enjoyed exponential
growth in Charleston and we will continue to grow together.”
“South Carolina welcomes and embraces this new business from MSC, one of
the world’s leading global shipping lines,” said Jim Newsome, president and
CEO of the South Carolina State Ports Authority (SCSPA). “MSC’s decision
to locate this service in Charleston speaks volumes about our ability to
handle larger ships effectively and efficiently.”
Charleston has the deepest channels on the South Atlantic coast, routinely
handling post-Panamax ships and vessels drawing up to 47 feet of water.
The Golden Gate Service will call Charleston’s Wando Welch Terminal on a
weekly basis. The first vessel will be the MSC Turchia, which embarks from
Shanghai on January 15, 2010.
The Golden Gate Service offers connections to Shanghai, Ningbo, Chiwan and
Yantian, China; Singapore; Salalah, Oman; Freeport, Bahamas; Jeddah, Saudi
Arabia; Colombo, Sri Lanka; Singapore; Chiwan and Hong Kong, China.
The new service also marks an expansion of the line’s already strong
presence in the port and local community. MSC has five existing weekly
carrier services calling in Charleston to the west Mediterranean, South
America, Caribbean, Africa and Europe.
Earlier this year, MSC and the SCSPA signed a new five-year extension to
the carrier’s contract, lengthening its commitment in Charleston to 2017.
In March, MSC dedicated its new, 45,000-square-foot South Atlantic
corporate headquarters in Mount Pleasant, S.C. The company directly employs
approximately 225 professionals in Charleston.
