Maritime Association of South Carolina
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT (ICYMI) CRUISE CRITICS MISS BOAT (From today's Post and Courier - 5/7/12) The cruise debate rages on and for those of us who toil on the docks and in waterfront related trades, we are deeply concerned. The Coastal Conservation League, The Historic Charleston Foundation and the Preservation Society have used "beyond bizarre" accusations about Charleston's maritime passenger business, and the Port of Charleston generally. The latest salvo, the "Miley" report denying the substantial economic benefits of the cruise industry, are given legitimacy by labeling the report "independent." Surely this a joke. The report was a bought- and-paid-for outcome report. It is inherently flawed. The facts are simple. First, the cruise business is an enormous economic benefit to airlines, stevedores, bus and taxi drivers, longshoreman, steamship agents, shop owners, pilots, food suppliers, restaurants and an incredible myriad of businesses that survive and thrive from the added revenue of the ships. Second, the cruise industry is an environmentally friendly, clean, and well-regulated industry. Third, the legitimate issues regarding traffic have been substantially mitigated and will all but disappear with the completion of the new terminal and altered traffic flow. Finally, the arguments of noise pollution and violation of height ordinances are laughable. This has become a war of words and consultant reports and our maritime businesses are caught in the crossfire. What is truly missing from the debate is a sense of heritage and history. The founding of the Charlestown colony in 1670 was the creation of the port. The location of the now and proposed new terminal, Union Pier, has been a working dock for centuries and many, many generations. East Bay Street, Adgers Wharf, Boyces Wharf, Middle Atlantic Wharf, and Vendue Range aren't catchy street names invented by real estate developers. These streets took their names from working wharves and the shipping interests that built this great city. The homes of Ansonborough and surrounding neighborhoods were built by ship captains and those associated with the docks and trade in recognition of the great seaport Charleston was, and remains today. In past years, more than 300 ships docked every year at Union Pier. That volume of ship traffic will now decrease by two-thirds. With a visionary mayor, Joe Riley, leading the way, Union Pier will boast a rejuvenated cruise terminal co-existing with smart development and public waterfront access. The State Ports Authority operates other terminals in Charleston, Mt. Pleasant, North Charleston, and Georgetown. Each is dedicated to sectors of commercial shipping, unique to the Port Authority's mission of furthering the economy of South Carolina. The very thought that each city could impose its own ordinances to regulate shipping at any terminal would spell economic disaster for our port. No international shipping enterprise would fathom engaging in a contract with the State Port Authority knowing that a local ordinance could at anytime restrict the nature of their business. Beware of those organizations who profess their desire to "support the port, but regulate shipping." That simply does not work and that is why the Ports Authority's enabling statutes were worded as they are. The docks, the port, and specifically Union Pier is an integral part of Historic Charleston's DNA. From its founding through almost three and a half centuries the port has been the "soul" of a great city. The "right" balance is fully realized with the creation of the proposed new cruise terminal. It is imperative that Union Pier remain a working, vibrant dock, steeped in history and tradition, welcoming travelers throughout the world to our home. The authors - Robert New and Pat Barber are supporters of the South Carolina Waterfront Alliance. SCWA promotes the balance of recreational with economic development use of our waterways. Also from this weekend's Post and Courier: State medical association advocates for shoreside power for cruise ships LEGISLATIVE MATTERS: POLLUTION CONTROL ACT - ACTION ALERT! H.4654, a much needed amendment to the Pollution Control Act, remains pending on the Senate calendar. This legislation is extremely important to protect our Port from frivolous lawsuits and encourage economic development and job growth throughout South Carolina. Briefly, last summer the S.C. Supreme Court ruled in a land development case that any discharge into the environment now requires a permit, even if a permit does not exist. The court ruling also created a private right of action for individuals or third-party groups to sue a company they believe to be in violation of the state's Pollution Control Act. Until this ruling, lawsuits alleging a violation of the Pollution Control Act had always been the purview of the state, not third-parties like the Coastal Conservation League (or in this case the League of Women Voters). Predictably, opponents of our Port (and growth in general) have embraced this ruling as yet another tool in their already substantial litigation toolbox and have already added it as part of the legal argument against Carnival Cruise Lines. Why is this so important? If this ruling stands and the Pollution Control Act is not modified, Port opponents will assuredly use it against other carriers calling on Charleston! In order for H.4654 to have any chance of passing this year it will need to be placed on Special Order in the Senate. Your help is needed by calling your Senator and asking that this important bill be set for Special Order. It's a fairly complex issue but click here for a great document that provides talking points and details about the Supreme Court case. And DON'T be fooled by this Post and Courier editorial. This argument is nothing more than a red-herring! OTHER LEGISLATIVE NEWS: Last week the Senate passed S.1431 which allows for $120 million in bonds to the Charleston Port Dredging Project and $18.5 million to the Georgetown Dredging Project. These bonds would be issued by the State Treasurer on a schedule determined by the SCPA Board and subject to review by the Joint Bond Review Committee. Action on this bill in the House Ways and Means Committee is expected after the Senate Finance Committee wraps up work on the budget next week. Also, Senator Larry Grooms' joint resolution, S.1410, is currently pending on the Senate calendar. Among other things, this joint resolution would confirm that the Savannah River Maritime Commission is the sole authority that may take any action related to the South Carolina portion of the Savannah River concerning the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project (SHEP). On the House side, Rep. Jim Merrill's counterpart resolution is H.5173 and has already received third reading. For more information regarding these issues please contact Denver Merrill at the Maritime Association of South Carolina, 843-224-3885 or dmerrill@maritimesc.org.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 7, 2012 Charleston Adds New NWA/Evergreen Far East Service Charleston, SC - The New World Alliance consortium of ocean carriers and Evergreen are launching a new Far East weekly container service in June, marking the third new container service announced this year for Charleston and the first service for the port with a direct call in Vietnam. The SVS (South China/Vietnam-US Southeast) service is a Suez service deploying 10 ships of capacity between 4,600 and 5,600 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs). The service originates in Cai Mep, Vietnam and includes calls in Hong Kong and Yantian in China, Singapore and Tangier, Morocco. Significantly, Charleston is the last port outbound on the service, which highlights the port's prominence in handling the region's and the nation's export demand. "Charleston's position in this service demonstrates that ships will be taking on a significant amount of cargo here, relying on our deep water to fill up the ship with heavy exports," said Jim Newsome, president and CEO of the South Carolina Ports Authority. Charleston Harbor is the deepest in the Southeast region, with 45 feet of depth at mean low water (MLW), and can handle ships drafting up to 48 feet on the tides. Charleston's next harbor deepening project is currently underway. Participating in the SVS service are the alliance carriers of APL, Hyundai Merchant Marine and Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL), as well as Evergreen. The weekly service will call the Port of Charleston's Wando Welch Terminal on Saturdays, adding 52 ship calls a year to the port and supporting jobs across the maritime industry. 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.
