Union Pier Terminal is one of Charleston’s dedicated breakbulk handling facilities. UPT is ideal for handling traditional non-container freight such as forest products, metals, equipment, and project cargo. Buildings 318 and 322 were designed to handle paper being moved between ships and rail cars. This facility is also well-suited to handling various types of transload business between containers and rail cars. A redevelopment plan is in process that will replace a portion of the cargo handling facilities (Building 322 specifically) to a new cruise terminal in the near future.
