Message from the President & CEO

Greetings from The South Carolina Ports Authority and welcome to the fourth edition of the South Carolina Port Guide. In this book, you will find a wealth of information about our port facilities in Charleston, Georgetown, and Greer, S.C. In addition to that information, you will also find a great story of vision, investment, and success. Among the key accomplishments in the last year: • We successfully constructed and opened an innovative new intermodal rail terminal in Greer, S.C. Today, the South Carolina Inland Port is a thriving model of high-performance as volume has rapidly increased while truck turn-times have dropped to about 12 minutes.

• We maintained our position as the fastest growing major port in the U.S. • Our 2011 initiative to become a stronger direct player in economic development paid dividends in the form of rapid expansion of our freight base.

• We made tremendous progress on the deepening our shipping channels to extend our advantage as the deepest harbor in our port range.

• We also continued to make progress in constructing a new container terminal on Charleston Harbor, the only such facility permitted and under construction anywhere in the U.S. • And we continued to aggressively invest in the future with a $2 billion, 10-year capital plan.

More information about all these matters is contained on the following pages. Thank you for spending time with our publication. As always, please know our staff stands ready to assist with your questions and will work with you on creative solutions for your business needs today — and for decades to come.

MOMENTUM

Propels South Carolina Ports South Carolina Ports are riding a wave of momentum. The Port of Charleston’s 2014 fiscal year container volume was up 8% vs. the prior year and up 29% since Fiscal Year 2010. Non-container business at both Charleston and Georgetown was strong, especially in the power-generation, metals, and roll-on/roll-off vehicle commodity sectors. Even better news, South Carolina’s freight base is growing rapidly through aggressive economic development efforts. Major investments from international brand leaders such as BMW, Continental Tire, Michelin Tire, Giti Tire, Bridgestone/Firestone, Toray Industries, Harbor Freight, Northern Tool, Belks Stores, and a 10-fold increase in cold storage facilities foretells a bright future.

Productivity & Efficiency

Financial Sustainability

The S.C. Ports Authority and the State of South Carolina have initiated a 10-year, $2-billion capital investment campaign dedicated to port-related infrastructure.

These projects include a new 280-acre container terminal, deepening of Charleston harbor to allow all-tide access for fully-loaded neo-Panamax vessels, a new, dual-served intermodal container transfer facility central to the Port of Charleston, expansions and improvements to interstate highways, and a new inland port facility in Greer, S.C.

Clearly, a port is only as strong as the freight base it serves. An aggressive, integrated statewide effort is continuing to experience success in attracting new port-dependent business.

In recent years more than $6 billion has been invested by port-dependent businesses comprising nearly 20 million square-feet. There is ample evidence those efforts are payingoff in volume. Since 2011 the Port of Charleston’s container volume has grown 16%, making it the fastest growing major port in the United States.

South Carolina Ports are known around the world for high efficiency. The Port of Charleston enjoys the position of the most productive container port in North America averaging 43 moves per hour per dockside crane and 22-minute truck turn times. Charleston is 60% more productive than U.S. West Coast ports. Clients can have confidence in our productivity and reliability because we’ve owned the position for decades and have proven it to the most demanding firms in trade.

Protecting and enhancing this benefit is vital to clients and our success as a port.

For more than 30 years, South Carolina’s ports have been self-supporting on an operating and capital basis. Retaining this financial sustainability is key to future growth, which is not tied to government budgets.

From cargo growth, since FY2010 Charleston container volume up 32%, over the next 10 years, South Carolina plans to implement $2 billion in capital projects.

Building on success T

he Port of Charleston has emerged as a driver of port business in the South Atlantic over the last four years. Container volume continues to grow well above the market, making the Port of Charleston the fastest growing major port in the U.S. Economic development efforts are aggressively growing the South Carolina Port freight base and significant progress is being made on the SCPA’s bold $2 billion, 10-year capital investment

plan to further enhance port infrastructure. The momentum generated is creating new opportunities and driving new investments.

Nowhere is the momentum more visible than in the Port of Charleston’s recent container volume numbers. Since 2011 Charleston’s volume is up 16%.

The overall U.S. container market grew only 6% in that same period.

Even more remarkably, the Port of Charleston captured 72% of all the container volume growth

that has occurred in its competitive range since 2011. The port range (Wilmington, Charleston, Savannah, and Jacksonville) grew by 306,424 TEU from 2011 to 2013. Of that volume, Charleston captured 220,018 TEU. Wilmington, Savannah, and Jacksonville combined handled 86,406.

Another sign of momentum is the rapid growth of port-dependent business locating in South Carolina.

From January to December 2013, the state closed 127 economic development projects, totaling $5.4

billion in capital investment and 15,457 new jobs. Many of those projects included port-dependent business. Among them: • BMW: $1 Billion plant expansion of Plant Spartanburg in Greer, S.C. Production of X-Series vehicles to increase to 450,000 units/year. New X7 model to debut in 2015.

• Continental Tire: Large-scale tire manufacturing plant near Sumter, S.C. now open. Up to 3 million square-feet when complete. $500 Million investment.

2014 SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

15

• Michelin Tire: $900 Million expansion of manufacturing capacity for earth moving equipment in Lexington and Anderson, S.C. • Bridgestone Firestone: New large-scale mining tire production plant near Greenwood, S.C. opened in 2014. $1.2 Billion total investment • Giti Tire: New tire manufacturing plant announced for Chester County, S.C. Ultimately this plant will produce 3 million tires/year. $560 Million investment.

• Element Electronics: New highdefinition TV assembly plant near Winnsboro, S.C. Opened December 2013. Assembling units for a variety of retailers including Walmart.

• Harbor Freight Tools: Expanded DC operation in Dillon, S.C. by 1 million square feet.

• Northern Tool: Expanded DC operation in Fort Mill, S.C. by 1 million square feet.

16

• Keer Group: Chinese textile firm to open new manufacturing plant in Fort Mill, S.C. in 2014. Will generate high-volume exports to China. $208 million investment.

• JN Fibers: Manufacturer of recycled polyester staple fiber products established a new plant in Chester County, S.C. $45 million investment.

• Toray Industries: Manufacturer of fibers and textiles, plastic resins, films and carbon fiber composite materials expands production in Spartanburg, S.C. $1 Billion total investment.

Seeing such an immediate return on investment is bringing confidence about improvements lined up for the future. The SCPA’s Board of Directors approved an ambitious 2015 fiscal year plan that includes across-the-board increases in cargo volumes, operating revenues and capital investments.

Operating revenues are expected to

2014 SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

reach $172.8 million in FY2015, up $13.2 million from projected FY2014 totals.

Above-market growth for the ensuing years is a critical part of the port’s strategy, which includes diverse port operations.

In non-containerized cargo business segments, the SCPA plan includes breakbulk tonnage increases of 9.8 percent in Charleston and 0.5 percent in Georgetown, driven largely by strong performance of state manufacturers.

“Volume across all business segments continued to grow through the 2014 fiscal year, giving us the confidence to approve this aggressive plan,” said SCPA Board Chairman Bill Stern. “Our port’s performance is a strong reflection of our state’s economic development successes, and it positions us well to serve imports and exports for our nation.”

The Charleston Harbor has been a key economic driver for more than

300 years. Charleston is already a well-positioned port in the Southeast. Among other ports on the Eastern seaboard, it has the deepest water, highest productivity, best value proposition and capacity; its proximity to the growing Southeast market puts it at a huge advantage.

Yet constant improvements, investments and aggressive sales strategies are needed to keep up with new trends in the industry.

Keeping a close eye on industry trends, the $2 billion commitment will improve additional port-related infrastructure to stay competitive so the port of Charleston can continue to remain the go-to port on the East Coast.

Infrastructure projects move forward Improvements to port infrastructure are not slowing down anytime soon. Major and minor improvement projects are planned as well as the highly-anticipated deepening of

2014 SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

2014 SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

the Charleston Harbor beyond its current 45-foot limit to 50 feet.

The SCPA is constantly working on new and improved offerings for port customers, building on the success of other improvements and initiatives.

Aggressive cargo sales strategies are being implemented to target specific cargo segments touting the new facilities.

A new, standard gate operating structure at all Charleston container facilities went into effect in early 2011. This adjustment provided an approximate 15 percent increase in portwide container space.

The Board has approved a $1.1 million contract to prepare Inland Port gate facilities and infrastructure for the implementation of an upgraded terminal operating system. Construction is scheduled to begin in July 2014 and will be completed in the fall.

The SCPA has already improved how the port can accept shipments based on trends in the industry.

This includes improvements in accepting, loading and unloading bulk cargo, bulk transload, agricultural products, retail consumer goods, refrigerated products and tires and rubber.

U.S. Agricultural products are in-demand around the world and need a competitive rail system, transload facilities, empty containers and access to deep water, all of which South Carolina can deliver.

Ongoing dredging is occurring at the port of Charleston’s Union Pier Terminal and Columbus Street Terminal to handle non-traditional cargo.

A new 25-acre refrigerated container yard at the Port of Charleston at the Wando Welch Terminal – the port’s largest container facility – has centralized all temperature-controlled cargoes in one area while bringing on a 10 percent increase in the facility’s capacity. A full 25 acres of “shovelready” property at the Wando Welch Terminal is available for future development as needed.

The Ports Authority is currently building the only permitted new container terminal on the U.S. East and Gulf coasts. Since receiving the final permit approvals in 2007, the Ports Authority has completed preliminary demolition, site preparation and containment wall construction on the new, 280-acre terminal which, at build out, will boost capacity in the port by a full 50 percent. Construction is currently underway, and the anticipated opening date of the terminal’s 171-acre first phase is planned for fiscal year 2019 or as market demand requires.

Included in the plan is a comprehensive environmental and community mitigation package, estimated at $12.2 million. The Ports Authority’s plan includes both environmental and community mitigation measures to offset potential impacts from the expansion and also to be good stewards of the natural area.

Near-term investments include a more than $17-million new terminal operating system, which will improve on-terminal operations and processes as well as a new cruise facility in downtown Charleston.

To serve larger container ships more efficiently, the Army Corps of Engineers is pursuing the next deepening of Charleston Harbor.

The work examines the economic benefits and environmental impacts of the deepening project and determines what depth is recommended for construction.

The Ports Authority signed a costsharing agreement with the Corps and agreed to accelerate its half of the study cost to speed the work.

If past success indicates future success, then the SCPA has the investment and tools in place to continue to be the premiere port on the Eastern seaboard.

With a reputation for high productivity, modern terminals and efficient handling of all types of cargo, port clients and prospective port clients can feel confident building their future with South Carolina Ports.

ON-TRACK FOR DEEPENING THE CHARLESTON HARBOR Keeping Charleston’s expansive harbor dredged ensures safe passage for post-Panamax ships.

Charleston’s expansive and deep harbor helps ensure safe passage for post-Panamax ships today. The South Carolina Ports Authority and the Army Corps of Engineers are working to deepen Charleston Harbor to at least 50 feet at mean low water.

20

ncreases in ship sizes, the expansion of the Panama Canal and utilization of the Suez Canal for larger ships have driven the need for ports across the United States to modernize their infrastructure. To meet future demand, the South Carolina Ports Authority is investing $2 billion in its capital plan, and the Charleston Harbor deepening project is the most vitally significant portion of that plan.

The Port of Charleston is already working an average of seven vessels up to 10,000 TEUs each week.

Deepening the harbor to at least 50 feet will allow the port to work those vessels when fully loaded and without tidal restrictions. The project is estimated to cost about $450 million with minor mitigation costs and is set for a 2018 completion.

The deeper the draft available, the more attractive a port is in gaining ocean-carrier services and attracting cargo to fill those services.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed the Charleston

Harbor deepening project’s initial recommendation in the summer of 2010 and determined that there is a federal interest in the deepening of Charleston Harbor and that it was most likely the best value for scarce public dollars.

The Army Corps is making progress on a feasibility study it needs to complete as part of the permitting process, said Lt. Col. John Litz, commander of the agency’s local office. The draft study is due for release in summer 2014 and will be open to public comments, allowing project advocates to tell the Army Corps about the importance of the deepening project. The final study is on track to be completed

by September 2015, putting a construction completion date at 2018.

The study analyzes the economic, environmental and engineering impacts of deepening the harbor and usually takes five to eight years to complete, but the Army Corps has shaved years off that timeline and millions of dollars off the typical cost of the study.

The project has received support from state and federal leaders throughout the study process. On the state level, South Carolina’s Legislature set aside $300 million toward the construction costs.

Federally, the Water Resources Reform & Development Act of 2014, which includes measures to keep the deepening project moving without delay, was signed into law and supported by the entire South Carolina federal delegation.

Meeting needs in a heavier cargo market Deepening strategic ports, including the Port of Charleston, in the United States is vital to our national interest, and at least 50 feet in Charleston Harbor is crucial in the South Atlantic.

Charleston provides the only opportunity in the Southeast to attain the depth needed to be a fully-capable post-Panamax port.

Commercial forces have been driving ocean carriers to build larger ships to gain economies

of scale. By the end of 2016, 59 percent of all container vessels operating in the world will be larger than 5,000 TEUs and 86 percent of the vessels on order for delivery in the next two years are 5,000 TEUs or greater.

On average, each foot of extra draft allows an ocean carrier to load an additional 100 filled export containers or 200 loaded import containers. (Export containers, on average, are nearly twice as heavy as imports.)

Vessels in the 8,000-10,000 TEU capacity are becoming the workhorses of the U.S. East Coast (USEC) trades, particularly in the Asia/USEC trade and the Europe/ USEC trade.

To best use bigger ships, ocean carriers must load as much cargo as possible, and carriers must call on a southeastern port capable of handling post-Panamax ships to load export cargo for their return trips thanks to the Southeast’s burgeoning manufacturing renaissance.

Other major projects related to

2014 SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

21

increased vessel size include the raising of the Bayonne Bridge between New York and New Jersey and the Panama Canal expansion.

Once those projects are completed, the East Coast could see ships as large as 14,000 TEUs. Proper vessel access is a key issue not only for the operators of the larger vessels and the ocean carriers, but also for local economies—from cargo owners to commercial real estate developers looking to connect future supply chains to ports.

The Port of Charleston is the fourth busiest East Coast port for container traffic with 1.68 million TEUs handled in FY2014, and its operations facilitate more than 260,000 jobs in South Carolina.

Hitting the ground running Deepening the Charleston Harbor will deliver sufficient depth to accomodate vessels drafting 48 feet on all tides.

22

2014 SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

The Port of Charleston provides a post-Panamax capable harbor and facilities. It is the best candidate in the Southeast to deepen to at

least 50 feet to handle larger ships without tidal restrictions.

It also will provide reliable berth access, import/export balance, a productive interface between vessel and terminal and appropriately scaled inland infrastructure, all of which will make handling larger ships and their cargo more efficient.

Charleston has the deepest port in the region today, allowing the largest vessels calling on the East Coast to utilize Charleston Harbor. No other Southeastern port can handle those ships fully loaded.

For more than 300 years, the Charleston Harbor has been a key economic driver. The highly anticipated deepening project will ensure the Port of Charleston remains competitive and able to serve the needs of cargo ships from around the world.

A New Era: South Carolina Inland Port Now Open For Business

T

he South Carolina Inland Port (SCIP) which opened in November 2013 is an innovative short‐haul rail solution that delivers next‐morning service to containers 212 miles inland at a rate competitive with trucking.

Developed by the South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) and constructed over nine months, the $50 million investment by the SCPA in Greer offers unprecedented speed and reliability of service

24

to the port of Charleston while lowering carbon footprint.

Jim Newsome, president and CEO of the SCPA, which owns and operates the port, said the facility is on track to reach its target of handling 40,000 containers per year, with BMW, the anchor client, accounting for half of that traffic. The plan is to increase that amount to 100,000 lifts annually within five years.

The SCIP is served exclusively by Norfolk Southern to and from the

2014 SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

Port of Charleston.

BMW North America’s Plant Spartanburg is located just a short distance from the SCIP and BMW has a large building on land adjacent to the inland port that is used in their SKD (semi‐ knock‐down) business.

BMW’s volume ensures there is sufficient business to run the trains, however, the I‐85 corridor is the Port of Charleston’s most dense base of clients, with massive

potential for new business.

The SCIP is expected to create additional economic investment in the South Carolina Upstate, where hundreds of international manufacturers already operate.

The SCIP is in a strategic location in the heart of the Upstate, halfway between the two largest metro areas in the region, Atlanta and Charlotte.

Unlike most inland port facilities that have been created with the

idea of attracting a cargo base via economic development efforts, the SCIP serves an existing marketplace, one with tremendous growth potential. The SCIP offers efficient access to a market of 94 million consumers within a one‐day truck trip from Greer, launching a new era for the port in offering short-haul intermodal service at a competitive rate.

Since opening, machinery, auto parts, apparel, footwear, forest products and cotton are the initial

commodities that have been strong.

The area around the SCIP is an outstanding location for port‐ dependent manufacturing and distribution investments.

There is plenty of opportunity for growth at the SCIP and there is an abundance of available land at reasonable costs.

About 40 acres of the site have been developed, and the inland port has the potential to expand

capacity to 100,000 containers.

Opening an inland port is part of the SCPA’s broad commitment to intermodal rail service.

Rail service maximizes tonnage moved per gallon of fuel for importers and exporters, helping them save costs and lower their carbon footprint. The SCIP adds an additional benefit – access to empty containers – for regional shippers, who can send trucks to Greer for the containers they need

to move their goods.

The SCIP offers 24/7 operating hours for quick access to cargo.

Already SCIP is getting accolades for its economic impact to the area. The SCIP received the Economic Development Impact Award earlier this year from the Upstate Alliance.

There have been more than 200 inquiries from companies about using the inland port facilities, most of whom have visited the site

tive advantage grows stronger with every train that departs the South Carolina Inland Port bound for the Port of Charleston.”

With aggressive local, state and port incentives to use the inland

port, along with a low cost of doing business and lowering the carbon footprint, there are countless ways companies can count on the inland port for all their shipping needs.

No Container?

No Problem.

Breakbulk cargo, non-container business sees big gains at Columbus Street Terminal

T

he South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) is strongly committed to the breakbulk cargo business, reflected in its strong growth numbers over the past year.

In 2010, the port strategically invested $30 million to convert its Columbus Street Terminal from a container terminal to a dedicated breakbulk facility, which included adding heavy lift barge cranes that can move cargo from the

28

vessel directly onto rail line cars and trucks. The Columbus Street Terminal is now Charleston’s premier combination breakbulk and container terminal, open for shippers of breakbulk, roll-on/rolloff, heavy-lift and project cargo.

Expanding terminals to accommodate breakbulk cargo is part of the port authority’s direction to diversify its operations: container, non–container, cruise, special services, and more. Now, the Port

2014 SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

of Charleston is capitalizing on the breakbulk market and seeing a huge return on its Columbus Street Terminal investment.

In 2013, Charleston handled 878,000 tons of breakbulk cargo, up 36 percent since initiating the terminal investment plan. The past two years – 2012 and 2013 – were the two highest volume years in breakbulk in more than two decades.

With 360,000 square feet of

dockside warehouses, shipside rail access, more than 3,800 feet of berth, the Columbus Street Terminal can handle a variety of non-container cargoes, including automobiles, common breakbulk, bulk, rolling stock, heavy-lift, and project cargo. In response to growing demand for inside storage, in 2013 a new 100,000 square-foot warehouse was added (Building 186) between the two existing warehouses Buildings 108 and 105.

A large portion of the Columbus Street Terminal is dedicated to the roll-on/roll-off business of moving automobiles. German automotive company BMW, which has its North American headquarters in Greenville, S.C., is the primary client, and there’s room at the terminal for the expected growth in the roll-on, roll-off market. Charleston handles more than 200,000 automobiles per year and a large volume of heavy equipment including earth-

moving and farming machinery.

Thanks to the terminal conversion and the aggressive recruiting of more breakbulk shippers to the area, Charleston is now a fast-growing breakbulk port, with regular service to and from Asia, Europe, South America and North Africa, with frequent requests for service to many other locations Breakbulk cargo has been moving at other Charleston terminals as well, most notably the recent, 2014 SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

strong growth at the Union Pier Terminal with an increase in metals, in particular steel and aluminum. Wood pulp has also moved through the Port of Charleston for the first time in many years. The Union Pier Terminal is well-designed for these commodities with large lay-down areas and dockside warehouses providing a seamless transition between dock and warehouse. The facility has all the tools and space needed to assist with the loading, unloading and storing of these materials. There is more than 290,000 square feet of warehouse storage space. Some of the lines regularly calling on SC Ports for their breakbulk shipping needs are Wallenius-Wilhelmsen, K-Line, ARC, Liberty, BBC, Chipolbrok, Rickmers, Grieg Star, Gearbulk, Intermarine, and Westfal Larson.

The SCPA invites shippers to look at the Port of Charleston

with a new vision when it comes to non-containerized freight. Brad Stroble, is the contact person for breakbulk, project cargo and Georgetown sales. Email BStroble@scspa.com.

Port of Georgetown a dedicated breakbulk port The Port of Georgetown also thrives on breakbulk. Located approximately 60 miles north of Charleston, the Port of Georgetown is South Carolina’s dedicated breakbulk and bulk cargo port. The Georgetown port continues to see strong numbers from its breakbulk customers and remains a good option for niche business. Georgetown moved 549,000 tons of breakbulk in 2013 – up 138 percent since 2010.

With an expanded berth, ample open and covered storage, specialty cargo handling facilities and a team of workers experienced in the field, 2014 SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

Union Pier Terminal is one of several South Carolina facilities dedicated to non-container cargo.

Georgetown can handle a variety of bulk and breakbulk cargo efficiently, safely, and at an attractive price.

Top commodities for the Port of Georgetown are steel, cement, aggregates, and forest products. It also handles mill scale, alloys, scrap metal and PetCo cargo.

The terminal is served by CSX. While the channel depth of the Georgetown Port is currently a limiting factor for deep draft vessels, it remains an essential port for breakbulk cargo from a wide vari-

32

ety of barge businesses and other vessels that are not deep draft.

Power generation business on the horizon Helping drive the increase in non-containerized freight is the power generation business, which continues to be a critically important industry around the world. Major production facilities for generators and turbines in the Southeast and the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station power project

2014 SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

in South Carolina mean there’s a need for project cargo capabilities.

These project cargo shipments are usually oversized – high, wide shipments of specialty cargo, such as wind turbines. To handle that business, Charleston Heavy Lift has based a new heavy-lift barge crane in Charleston with a 500ton capacity and expandable up to 700 tons. These essential tools have helped to make Charleston the premier East Coast port for movement of power generating

equipment, an industry that is not slowing down anytime soon.

No matter what the type of cargo, ports in South Carolina are well equipped to handle it, whether container, breakbulk, wheeled, overweight, oversized or loose. With the industry’s most efficient, multi-use facilities in Charleston and Georgetown, port employees have the experience and expertise to deliver customized business solutions for all shipping needs.

All Aboard Major remodel of Charleston cruise terminal planned

In 2015, Charleston will serve a record 100 cruises, including from German cruise line AIDA, a subsidiary of Carnival.

L

ast year, Charleston was named the No. 1 travel destination in the United States for the third consecutive year and the friendliest city in America by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler magazine. It also won the World’s Best Awards by Travel+Leisure magazine in 2013 and was named the best city in the world by Conde Nast in 2012.

In an effort to better serve cruise passengers and to deliver a cruise facility more in keeping with those lofty traveler experiences, the South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) is converting a 106,000-square-

34

foot warehouse on the north end of Union Pier into a new cruise terminal that will enhance the passenger experience and streamline the embarkation and debarkation processes. The current cruise terminal is 18,000-square feet and currently doesn’t have a sitting area for early arrivers.

The proposed new terminal will feature a VIP lounge area, help improve traffic flow and accommodate the entire embarking and debarking process, with a sitting and waiting area for early arrivers.

“The goal is to get folks on the ship as fast as possible so they can

2014 SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

start enjoying their cruise,” said Peter Lehman, vice president of cruise and real estate for the SCPA. “The vision for the terminal is to bring us into the 21st century,” Lehman said. “Our terminal is 40 years old; we’re trying to construct a modern new terminal to be a new gateway for Charleston, one that is in keeping with the scale and atmosphere of downtown Charleston.”

In 2015, Charleston will serve a record 100 cruises, many of them from the top cruise lines in the world, including Carnival Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean,

Princess Cruise Line, Regent Seven Seas, AIDA Cruise Lines, Crystal Cruises, Cunard Line, Fred Olsen Cruises, Holland America, Oceania, P&O Cruises, Seaborne, Silver Seas and The World.

The ports authority has diversified Charleston’s portfolio of cruise brands and itineraries to offer both short and long-term cruise options for high-end and family travelers.

Key itineraries include the Western Caribbean, Eastern Caribbean, the Bahamas, Bermuda and other global itineraries.

“Cruise passengers account for an estimated 5 percent of the

A new cruise terminal at the Union Pier Terminal in Charleston is set to offer waterfront amenities and be a “new gateway” for Charleston visitors.

Charleston area’s annual visitation.

This includes embarkation cruises as well as port-of-calls,” said Dan Blumenstock, incoming chairman of the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. “Most port-of-call passengers are firsttime visitors to Charleston, and this brief introduction to our area often leads them to plan a return trip by car or plane.”

In a recent survey by the visitors bureau, 67% of visitors who were asked how likely they were to recommend Charleston to a friend rated their likelihood as a 10 on a scale of one to 10. The average rating of all survey-takers was 9.4.

This high rate of satisfaction with the city is what puts Charleston at the top of travel lists, but its emergence as a premier niche port is also due to the unrivalled proximity of its cruise terminal to its historic downtown area.

“Charleston is a bonus destination for any cruise line,” Lehman

said. “If you’re embarking here, you can come a day or two before or stay a day or two after and enjoy the city. It just enhances your desire to want to come back again and again.”

Once the new terminal is developed, the redevelopment of two-thirds of the current Union Pier terminal can begin, which will convert much of the current marine terminal to mixed-use commercial, residential, and park facilities on the waterfront.

“We are eagerly anticipating the day when the entire area currently known as Union Pier Terminal can both serve as a fitting waterside gateway to this world-class city and, at the same time, improve the downtown Charleston aesthetic and experience by opening up many acres of waterfront property to public access,” Lehman said.

“It’s a bold vision--one to which the Ports Authority and the City of Charleston are committed.”

How do FTZ sites work?

Helping businesses reduce costs through Foreign-Trade Zones

A

major cost-saving federal program to many businesses is the ForeignTrade Zone (FTZ) program that allows for a secure, designated area that is considered outside of the U.S. Customs territory in regards to payment of U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) duties and fees.

When in a designated FTZ site, businesses do not have to pay duties and certain fees immediately.

They are deferred until the final product is moved into United States commerce.

Companies taking advantage of the FTZ program can see a duty reduction, duty deferral and even duty elimination for certain items, such as an imported item which is immediately exported. The efficient handling of duty payments and entry fees can save a large importer millions of dollars a year. But setting up an FTZ is a complicated process unto itself. That’s why the South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) serves as the one-stop-shop for assisting businesses with establishing FTZs in most of South Carolina.

Every U.S. state has FTZ zones that can accept international

cargo, per a federal program that was established by the U.S. Department of Commerce in 1934. The zones, under the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s supervision, provide an additional incentive for businesses to import to an area.

Businesses apply for a FTZ site from the U.S. Commerce Department through a zone grantee. The SCPA is the zone grantee for most of the entire state, except for the area around Columbia. South Carolina ranks number three in the country for the highest amount in dollar value of goods exported from its FTZs. That’s in part because of the SCPA’s aggressive marketing of the program.

Any business that qualifies may apply for FTZ site designation – generally companies that import more than $1 million in cargo each year. Each interested company is encouraged to prepare a detailed operational and cost/ benefit feasibility study.

The business-friendly initiatives can help companies save hundreds of thousands per year, or defer start-up costs until a finished product is moved into commerce.

High-volume, high-value import-

ers in a FTZ can also see a reduction in Merchandise Processing Fees through the FTZs. The sites exist to encourage companies to locate and grow in an area. When a company saves money using the FTZs, that’s more money they can spend on hiring more people or re-investing in their business.

In 2013, SCPA FTZs and their subzones employed 21,974 people and had an annual volume of more than $35 billion dollars.

Having one agency dedicated to the FTZ program is unique among states, which often involve the coordination of many agencies and entities. The SCPA the sole liaison between the companies, Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Commerce Department’s FTZ Board.

FTZ sites are gaining in popularity. Five new sites were recently approved in the first quarter of 2014. The FTZ approval process has been expedited for companies to take advantage quickly. Engaging in the FTZ process is part of the overall goal of establishing relationships with clients that hopefully will result in them shipping goods through a SC port.

Some of the South Carolina businesses currently taking advantage of the FTZ Program

Immediately upon arrival, cargo goes into an approved FTZ site, either an industrial site, a company’s own facility or a designated industrial area inside a port or airport, and businesses are exempt from paying duties on it at that time. Duties are eliminated completely on scrap metal, waste or defective parts.

Where are FTZs located?

FTZ sites can be either 60 miles or 90 minutes from the outer boundary of the custom’s port of entry. A physical space is required in order to get approved as a FTZ site. Many businesses use a thirdparty logistics company or realtor to find suitable warehouse space.

What can companies do in an FTZ site?

Companies can do distribution, storage, testing, sampling, inspection, mixing, cleaning, processing, repackaging, assembly and repair. Manufacturing in an FTZ zone requires a special manufacturing authority.

What types of companies can benefit the most?

Companies that ship and move large amounts of cargo several times a week.

Manufacturing companies that import pieces or parts from overseas. Unlike nonFTZ sites, the approved FTZ zones can accept cargo 24 hours a day, seven days a week, all year round, including holidays.

What other incentives do FTZ sites offer?

FTZ sites can utilize weekly entry procedures to allow for “batching” of customs entries on a weekly basis through the Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF).

MPF is based on a percentage of the value of the merchandise covered by a single entry, with a minimum of $25 and the maximum $485 for all customs entries in one week.
