FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 8, 2011
Westinghouse Selects Port of Charleston for Energy Project Moves
Columbus Street Terminal to handle more than
24,000 additional tons of cargo on 30 ships
Charleston, SC - Westinghouse Electric Company has selected the Port of
Charleston for a multi-year deal to handle oversize project cargo in
support of a major power plant expansion by South Carolina Electric & Gas
Company (SCE&G) near Columbia, SC.
"The Port of Charleston appreciates Westinghouse Electric Company's
confidence in our capabilities and welcomes this new business," said Jim
Newsome, president and CEO of the South Carolina Ports Authority. "These
kinds of project moves are labor-intensive, supporting jobs across the
state's maritime and transportation industries. It's great new business for
the port."
"From a logistics perspective, this is a large, complex and important
project," said Carl Rossi, director of Global Logistics for Westinghouse.
"The South Carolina Ports Authority has approached it very professionally
from its inception and has assisted Westinghouse in building a realistic
project plan to move our cargo quickly and efficiently to the construction
site."
The project involves about 24,000 tons of equipment that will be deployed
at V.C. Summer Units 2 and 3 in Jenkinsville, SC.
Shipments are scheduled to begin arriving at the Port of Charleston's
Columbus Street Terminal next month and continue for more than four years
during construction. At the port, approximately 30 ships will deliver
machinery and equipment - weighing up to 700 tons - for delivery by rail
and truck to the site approximately 30 miles northwest of Columbia.
A recently completed $23-million improvement project at the 135-acre
Columbus Street Terminal enhanced the facility's mix of on-dock rail,
storage and heavy-lift capabilities. The terminal handles a variety of
non-container cargoes, including autos, other rolling stock, breakbulk
cargoes, heavy-lift and project moves, including power generation equipment.
Westinghouse Electric Company, a group company of Toshiba Corporation
(TKY:6502), is the world's pioneering nuclear energy company and is a
leading supplier of nuclear plant products and technologies to utilities
throughout the world.
