Message from the President & CEO

G

reetings from the South Carolina Ports Authority. We are living in exciting times. Container shipping has been in a state of evolution since its inception, but the pace of change has accelerated since 2016.

Mergers, acquisitions, consolidations and supply-and-demand imbalances have kept the carrier industry in a state of flux. An expanded Panama Canal and raised Bayonne Bridge have changed the playing field for the U.S. East Coast/Asia trade. Omni-channel supply chains are changing inland distribution dynamics. BCOs are responding to tremendous expectations from their customers to deliver more innovative products at ever-lower prices in ever-shorter delivery windows.

At South Carolina Ports we are enthusiastically engaging the opportunities created by this environment. Why are we optimistic?

• The Port of Charleston is setting new records for container volume at more than 2.1 million TEU (up 10%); an excellent foundation for future growth.

• Intermodal rail is up 170% since 2011 and now comprises 23% of our container business.

• Inland Port Greer continues to impress with more than 120,000 lifts.

• Even in light of strong volume growth we continue to lead the nation in port productivity.

• Construction has started on our harbor deepening project and by 2020 Charleston will be the deepest port on the U.S. East Coast at 52 feet.

• Construction on the new Hugh Leatherman Sr. Terminal continues on schedule for a 2020 opening.

• Our noncontainer business segment remains strong, handling more than 250,000 vehicles last year.

• More than 224,000 cruise passengers chose Charleston last year.

• We are approaching $80 million in operating cash flow and invested $180 million in capital projects in FY17.

• With a growing population base, new foreign direct investment, an excellent base of export cargo, and owner-operated ports such as the Port of Charleston, the Southeast continue to grow well beyond the national average.

At South Carolina Ports we are thinking big. We are ambitious. Our aim is to grow twice the rate of the overall U.S. port market pace in the next few years, and earning your business is critical to achieving that growth. As always, please know that we are committed to helping you achieve your own lofty goals. I invite you to put our high-performance, low-risk solutions to work for your supply chain today.

Jim Newsome President & CEO

Financial Sustainability

The S.C. Ports Authority and the State of South Carolina are investing $2.1 billion in port-dependent infrastructure.

These projects include the new 280-acre Hugh Leatherman Sr. Terminal container facility; construction of a dedicated highway connecting Leatherman Sr. Terminal to I-26; deepening of Charleston Harbor to 52 feet (15.8 meters), making it the deepest port on the U.S. East Coast; and robust investments in existing facilities, including new cranes, RTGs, top lifters, refrigerated container handling facilities, new gates, wharf reinforcements and construction of a new inland port in Dillon, S.C.

Charleston’s remarkable growth streak continues, now topping 45% container growth CY20112015. All other major U.S. container ports combined grew just 14% in the same period.

However, a port is only as strong as the freight base it serves. An aggressive, integrated statewide effort is continuing to deliver success in attracting large-scale investments from port-dependent firms. More than $11 billion has been invested by portdependent firms in recent years, bringing more than 25,000 new jobs and tremendous cargo volume. The most demanding brands in the world are demanding S.C. Ports, including BMW, Mercedes-Benz Vans, Volvo Car, Samsung, Dollar Tree, Harbor Freight, adidas, Michelin, Giti Tire and many more.

South Carolina Ports are known around the world for reliable, highly efficient port service. The Port of Charleston remains the most productive port in North America.

Averaging more than 40 moves per hour per shipto-shore crane and turning trucks in an average 25 minutes or less delivers bottomline benefits to our clients.

Our clients have confidence in the Charleston supply chain because we’ve proven it to be a low-risk, high-performance, low-cost operation.

The South Carolina Ports Authority is in a strong financial position, and we aim to keep it that way. We have an aggressive, multibillion dollar CAPEX plan. Our commercial base of business is growing. We are winning more freight from inland rail markets, we’re winning more of the freight in our home market, and we are growing the home market through economic development. But the challenges ahead are significant. We need to deliver a higher rate of return on capital invested in order to meet our goals. The business plan involves innovation in every facet of the business, aggressive business development, excellent client services, and commitment of our entire S.C. Port team to unity and fulfillment of our corporate values.

2020 Vision The multibilliondollar plan to deliver high capacity, high performance to S.C. Port clients

T

he South Carolina Ports Authority and the state of South Carolina are investing $2.1 billion in port-related infrastructure to empower high-performance supply chains far into the future.

Upgrades to shipping channels, marine terminals, roads and rail lines are all included in the plan.

“If you’re investing in a new manufacturing plant or distribution center, or even

14

SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

committing a fleet of ships, you want to know that your ports can deliver the goods, now and in the future,” said Jim Newsome, president and CEO of S.C. Ports. “In some cases, the assets committed by our clients have a life measured in decades, so they, quite reasonably, want to look forward. At S.C. Ports we address that topic head-on.

We’re committing more than $2 billion to the essential infra-

structure of keeping freight moving. Our clients can be assured that we have the capacity and high performance to handle their growth long-term.”

Shipping Channel

The deepening of Charleston Harbor is a strategic priority for S.C. Ports, South Carolina and the nation. Deep, wider channels are needed to more efficiently handle the larger

containerships already calling U.S. East Coast ports, including Charleston.

A significant milestone was reached in July when the Army Corps of Engineers and the S.C. Ports Authority signed the Project Partnership Agreement, which essentially begins the construction phase of the project. Dredges will be active beginning this fall. When complete in 2020, Charleston will

be the deepest port on the U.S. East Coast.

The $530 million plan calls for Charleston to be deepened to 52 feet mean low water (15.8 meters) in the interior channel and 54 feet MLW (16.4m) in the outer channel. This will give Charleston a maximum vessel draft of 52 feet on high tide and a 24-hour draft of 48 feet (14.6m). A 24-hour draft of 48 feet will allow fully loaded

VLCS (very large containerships) to be worked in Charleston on all tides, which is a key strategic advantage. The deepest channels will run from the open sea to Wando Welch Terminal on the Wando River and the Hugh Leatherman Sr. Terminal on the Cooper River. (HLT is currently under construction.) The channel from HLT to North Charleston Terminal, upstream on the Cooper River,

will be deepened to 48 feet.

Water depth is not the only capability being improved.

Vessel access to a port is a three-diminsional matter: vessel draft, vessel width and air draft. WWT and HLT already feature very high air draft of 186 feet (56.7m) at mean high water. NCT has an air draft of 155 feet (47.2m), which is why NCT is best suited to ships 8,000 TEU and under, even

post-deepening. The increased depth will allow ships to sail in and out of NCT more fully loaded. Widening will also have a significant impact. Charleston’s channel will be widened in select locations to further enhance the capability of very large containerships to meet in the channel. Vessel movement in some ports can be limited to one-way traffic when a VLCS Continued on page 16 SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

15

Continued from page 15 is in the channel. Charleston is already wide enough to provide two-way traffic for VLCS. That capability will be expanded, allowing even larger ships to meet in the harbor in more locations and in a wider range of tidal conditions.

New Container Terminal & Port Access Road

The S.C. Ports Authority is building a new container terminal on the Cooper River in North Charleston, the only new container terminal under construction in the U.S. Hugh Leatherman Sr. Terminal will be constructed in three phases, with timing based on market demand. The first phase consists of one ship berth, 130 acres

16

SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

of upland facilities, container storage and container handling equipment. Phase 1 of HLT is scheduled for opening in 2020.

The new terminal is designed for a capacity of 1.4 million TEUs, has more than 3,500 feet of continuous berth and 165 acres of dedicated container storage space. At full buildout, it will be served by 13 ship-toshore container cranes and 65 Rubber Tired Gantry cranes.

HLT is currently in the detailed design phase. Some construction is already underway with early works consisting of clearing, demolition and consolidation of the soils. The HLT project includes a containment wall that allows reclamation of 66 acres of tidal waters, with greater than 2 million cubic

yards of sand fill and surcharge material placed during the initial contracts.

The containment wall is surrounded by a rock berm on its outside perimeter and a concrete relieving platform founded on more than 5,000 augur cast piles inside the wall perimeter. To date, more than 6,000 miles of wick drains have been installed to aid in consolidating the underlying soil with nearly 2.5 million metric tons of crushed stone placed as fill and surcharge material.

HLT will feature a dedicated commercial access road connecting the terminal to Interstate 26 and, via an additional private road, to the new intermodal rail facility being built nearby. Combined, HLT

Phase 1 and the associated access road will cost approximately $867 million.

New Intermodal Rail Facility

Palmetto Railways, a division of the S.C. Department of Commerce, is building a new intermodal rail facility to serve the growing demand for intermodal shipments at the Port of Charleston. The Navy Base Intermodal Facility will be served by both Class 1 rail lines, Norfolk Southern and CSX, and will be operated by Palmetto Railways.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is currently producing an environmental impact statement for the new facility Continued on page 19

The new intermodal rail facility will serve the growing demand for intermodal shipments at the Port of Charleston.

2014 SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE 17

SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

Continued from page 16 as required under the National Environmental Protection Act. The facility will be located on a 90-acre site at the former Charleston Naval Base. It is planned to receive and depart multiple-unit trains (up to 10,000 feet) and feature a private road connection to the SCPA’s new Hugh Leatherman Sr. Terminal. Approximately 200 acres of property is available in proximity to the ICTF for rail-served development.

Dillon Inland Port

The S.C. Ports Authority is building an inland port facility in Dillon, S.C., just off I-95 near the S.C./N.C. border. The 110-acre, $40 million terminal will be served by CSX exclu-

sively to and from Charleston.

Scheduled for opening in the first quarter of 2018, Inland Port Dillon will provide a unique, short-haul rail service for existing clients in the area and serve as a powerful draw for economic development in the area. The inland port will be located on the eastern side of a 3,400-acre industrial park where industrial clients will find easy access to both the inland port and I-95.

Existing Facilities

The S.C. Ports Authority is investing heavily in its existing facilities and IT systems to continually improve performance.

Recently completed projects include installation of two new ZPMC container cranes

at WWT featuring 155-feet under-spreader clearance; wharf improvements to berths 1 and 2 at WWT; installation of four new reefer racks; new construction of a larger reefer service area for interchanging and processing refrigerated containers; deployment of 12 new empty handlers; and deployment of 12 new RTGs. Additional projects to be completed in the near term include: Deployment of two additional ZPMC container cranes with 155 foot clear under spreader; raising of four existing container cranes to 155-foot clear under spreader; additional reefer racks; traffic flow and gate improvements to container terminals; chassis yard expansion; and robust investments in IT systems.

“If you’re investing in a new manufacturing plant … you want to know that your ports can deliver the goods, now and in the future.”

W

hen BMW chose Greer, S.C., for its North American manufacturing plant in 1992, everyone knew it was a big deal, but candidly, no one expected it to become the $9 billion deal it is today.

With its latest announcement in June 2017 of an additional $600 million to expand production, BMW’s total investment in South Carolina will top $9 billion. The German automaker will soon directly employ more than 10,000 people and produce the X3, X4, X5, X6 and X7 sports activity vehicles for global distribution in Greer.

Not surprisingly, that level of production drives large-scale international trade in finished

22

SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

vehicles and containerized parts. BMW is a tremendous success story, but just one of many in South Carolina recently.

Today the S.C. Ports Authority is an active participant, along with the South Carolina Department of Commerce and many local and regional economic development agencies, in recruiting new portdependent business to the state.

Since 2012, more than $11 billion has been invested by port-dependent businesses in South Carolina, adding more than 25,000 new jobs. A quick look at the Port of Charleston’s top clients and commodities reveals a direct connection to economic development success

over the last 25 years.

Some of the more recent major announcements:

BMW

BMW’s first North American manufacturing plant has been high-performance from day one. It took just 23 months to go from site groundbreaking to the first vehicle rolling off the production line, a white 318i on Sept. 8, 1994. BMW has never looked back. The years have brought a steady stream of expansions and new product lines. Today the plant encompasses more than 6 million square feet on 1,500 acres in Spartanburg County along I-85.

“What makes BMW such a premier business partner is

their incredible commitment to precision and excellence in everything they do,” said Jim Newsome, president and CEO of the S.C. Ports Authority.

“That includes their supply chain, and we are proud to share in that commitment.”

The stakes are high. BMW relies on a famously narrow margin of parts that flow to the plant in a constant stream of just-in-time efficiency. Some of those parts are shipped directly to Plant Spartanburg via the Port of Charleston and Inland Port Greer. Others flow through the 235 suppliers BMW has assembled, 40 of which have operations in South Carolina.

Engines, transmissions, brakes, seats and countless other parts

all flow in a well-orchestrated Brahms concerto of a supply chain. With an average daily production of more than 1,400 vehicles, any break in the rhythm could cost millions of dollars if the plant were to shut down. Fortunately, that’s never happened due to a port-related disruption.

Outbound finished vehicles require equal care. In 2016, BMW moved more than 250,000 vehicles via the Port of Charleston on roll-on/roll-off ships. Finished vehicles are typically railed from Plant Spartanburg to Columbus Street Terminal where they wait briefly for export and delivery to an owner (approximately 80% of all BMWs manufactured in Greer are custom-designed for the buyer.)

Other vehicles are taken from the plant to a customconstructed building adjoining South Carolina Ports’ Inland Port Greer. The operating vehicles are then disassembled

to a point that they do not qualify as a finished vehicle and shipped to countries with high import tariffs on finished vehicles. They are then reassembled in the buyer’s country.

This is called SKD business, or semi-knockdown. Driven by the ever-increasing efficiencies of container shipping, SKDs are opening new markets for OEMs in countries where fullassembled vehicles incur high import duties.

Mercedes-Benz Vans

Mercedes-Benz announced in 2016 that it would invest more than $500 million to convert the Sprinter van assembly plant in North Charleston to a fullscale production plant by 2020.

Previously, Sprinter Vans were built in Germany, then partially disassembled into SKD kits and shipped to Charleston. The vans were then reassembled at the North Charleston plant for distribution to North American

markets.

The expanded plant will cover approximately 1.5 million square feet with an additional 2.8 million square feet for storage. New to the plant will be production lines and a body and paint shop. When at full production, Mercedes-Benz expects to employ 1,300 associates directly and create approximately 400

new jobs with suppliers.

“Our new Sprinter plant is a big leap into the future of production at Mercedes-Benz Vans,” said Frank Klein, Head of Operations Mercedes-Benz Vans. “We are combining all of our global expertise and experience in this plant. In doing so, we make it one of the most advanced facilities in North

America. The plant will meet the highest standards in quality, based on our globally standardized production system, from the first vehicle that rolls off the assembly line.”

Mercedes-Benz Vans is focused on deploying innovative production technologies to make the plant agile, adaptive and efficient.

Volvo Car

In 2015 Swedish automaker Volvo Car chose a site in Berkeley County near the Port of Charleston for its first full production plant in the Western Hemisphere. The $500 million plant is fast approaching completion. The first cars, S60 sedans, are expected to roll off the production line late in 2018. Volvo has publicly stated that another vehicle, its popular XC90 SUV, will be produced at the South Carolina plant starting in 2021.

Initially, Volvo expects to directly employ 2,000 workers and build 60,000 vehicles per year; at full capacity it will be able to produce 120,000 per year. Operating with 2,000 employees, the plant would

contribute approximately $4.8 billion in total economic output on an annual basis, according to state estimates. In time, Volvo expects to directly employ 4,000 workers, not including those employed by tier one suppliers that will locate within a service zone around the plant.

Proximity to the Port of Charleston, and its proven record of success in handling sophisticated OEM supply chains, was a major factor in Volvo’s decision to locate in South Carolina. Other key factors were a well-trained labor force boosted by readySC, a training program operated by state technical colleges; an attractive investment environment, and the state’s successful record in attracting and grow-

ing high-tech manufacturing businesses.

The port impact is substantial.

Volvo and its suppliers will generate high volume imports of parts and components supporting the plant. Foreign trade zone status will play a significant role in optimizing supply chain performance and reducing costs. Currently suppliers are in the process of locating new facilities and/or expanding existing facilities in South Carolina to serve Volvo.

About 40% of the vehicles produced at the Berkeley plant will be slated for distribution to domestic U.S. sales. The remainder will be exported. The Port of Charleston’s Columbus Street Terminal will serve as the launch pad for Volvo exports.

It is expected that Volvo will use a new rail line being built by Palmetto Railways, a division of the S.C. Department of Commerce, to distribute finished vehicles to domestic markets.

Samsung

Samsung Electronics America announced June 28, 2017, that

SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

it is building a new plant to manufacture home appliances in Newberry County, S.C. Details are still evolving post-announcement, but what is known is that Samsung will initially invest $380 million in a building formerly occupied by heavy equipment manufacturer Caterpillar and directly employ up to 950 workers. The jobs will include a wide variety of manufacturing roles such as craftsmen, operators, engineers and other technical and

nontechnical positions. The facility will produce some of the Korean electronics leader’s most popular home appliances, including washing machines and dishwashers. Samsung will also conduct product research and development at the Newberry plant.

Dollar Tree

Retail giant Dollar Tree is hitting stride with its new 1.5 million-square-foot distribution center in Cherokee County,

S.C., near Inland Port Greer.

Announced in 2015, Dollar Tree delivered on an aggressive timeline to get the $104 million DC up and running. It opened in July 2016 employing up to 400 workers. The discount retailer is taking full advantage of the strategic Southeast location, on I-85 between Atlanta and Charlotte with low development and operating costs.

Inland Port Greer offers Dollar Tree and other importers next-morning access to con-

tainers offloaded from vessels at the Port of Charleston, seven days free time and 24/7 gates.

This positions boxes 212 miles inland, and in the case of Dollar Tree, about 30 miles from the new DC. In this arrangement, the importer can dramatically lower or eliminate variable costs such as per diems on containers and chassis rental.

These five firms are but the tip of the iceberg. The South Carolina Ports decision in 2010 to become directly involved in

economic development is paying big dividends. Giti Tire, Bosch, Gerber Childrenswear, RiteAid, Honda, Harbor Freight and a long list of other brand leaders are locating and expanding in South Carolina. Working in concert with state and local economic development officials, a powerful team has been assembled and empowered to recruit new business. That strategic shift will continue to drive port-dependent business to South Carolina.

S.C. Ports Set New Volume Records The Port of Charleston is on a remarkable growth streak.

I

n an industry well-known for its macro-economic ups and downs, Charleston’s container volume has steadily grown 45% since CY2011, making it the fastest growing major container port in the nation. All other U.S. major container ports grew 14% over the same time period (CY20112016).

In FY2017, ending June

30

SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

30, the South Carolina Ports Authority handled 2.14 million TEUs, up 10% over the previous year and setting a new all-time container volume record for Charleston.

“SCPA had an ambitious growth plan for the 2017 fiscal year, and it is a true accomplishment to have exceeded that plan across all business segments,” said SCPA president

and CEO Jim Newsome. “Amid uncertainty in the industry due to the consolidation of ocean carriers, SCPA successfully continued our growth trend well above the U.S. port market average. Through the expansion of import-export business in our region as well as successful efforts to recruit cargo from the Midwest and Gulf markets, it was a positive fiscal year for

us and we expect continued growth into our new year.”

Intermodal rail continues to play a prominent role in Charleston’s container volume. Twenty-three percent of Charleston’s overall container volume now moves inland by rail, up from 14 percent five years ago. Charleston’s RapidRail volumes increased 12.1 percent from FY2016 to

FY2017, and volumes in this program reached an all-time high in May and June with 25,002 and 22,129 moves handled, respectively. RapidRail is S.C. Ports’ dedicated truck dispatch program that ensures fast, low-cost transit of containers between marine terminals and local CSX and NS railheads.

Expansion of cargo at Inland Port Greer, where rail lifts exceeded FY2017 plans by 11 percent, played a key role in the Port’s overall rail growth. The facility finished the fiscal year with a record 121,761 rail lifts.

Fifteen ocean carriers are now providing direct service to/from Inland Port Greer.

Charleston breakbulk tonnage exceeded planned volumes by 8.8 percent with 846,952 pier tons handled from July through June. Within the noncontainerized cargo segment power generation equipment,

Charleston’s container volume is up 45% since 2011, making it the fastest growing major port in the U.S. for that time frame. project cargo, steel and vehicles were the key commodities. The SCPA moved 258,455 finished vehicles across the docks of the Columbus Street Terminal in FY2017.

Breaking down the port’s imports and exports provides insight into the historic position of S.C. Ports and the close ties between natural resources, foreign direct investment, population and trade.

For example, Southeast U.S. ports as a region are growing more than twice as fast as the rest of the country in terms of container volume. Charleston’s

32

SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

growth is even more robust.

The import component of that growth is closely tied to population growth. An increase in population drives an increase in consumption, which drives import containers of finished goods. As retail sales increase, the need for expanded distribution infrastructure grows. New and larger distribution centers and cross-dock operations are located, bringing with them jobs and concentrations of import freight.

Foreign direct investment plays a critical role as well. As international firms locate in

In addition to traditional containers, Charleston handles a wide variety of specialized cargo, such as mining tires in open-top containers.

34

SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

the Port of Charleston’s home market, the trade they generate drives both imports and exports. Nowhere is this phenomenon more visible than in the automotive industry. South Carolina is world-renowned for its success in attracting OEMs

and their suppliers. Statistics tell the story. More than 400 automotive firms are currently operating in the state, many of them directly involved in trade.

Collectively they employ more than 66,000 people and deliver $27 billion in economic impact.

SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

The automotive sector (parts, tires, finished vehicles etc.) accounts for 18% of the Port of Charleston’s container volume.

Exports, on the other hand, have very little to do with population. There is an old saying that imports go to where people are and exports come from where people aren’t.

Charleston’s export profile is driven by commodities related to natural resources such as paper, pulp, KLB, logs, lumber, ag commodities and clay. The Southeast, South Carolina in particular, is rich in these commodities and therefore generates a profitable two-way trade for ocean carriers.

A new addition to that export commodity base is resin.

Plastic resin (PTA, PET, PVC etc.) is a byproduct of the refining of fossil fuels. Several large “crackers”, natural gas refining plants, have opened in recent years along the Gulf

Coast, dramatically increasing production of plastic resins. So much so, in fact, that suppliers eager to sell their product internationally have expanded their distribution network beyond the Gulf Coast to include the Port of Charleston.

Recently, Frontier Logistics, A&R Bulk-Pak, Mid-States Logistics and Wyse Logistics have opened operations in Charleston dedicated to resin transloads and others are in the pipeline. Once the export transload operations are in place, these same facilities draw import resins as well.

This is a growing sector to watch over the next few years.

The combination of growing consumer goods and manufacturing imports and a solid base of exports is the primary reason Southeast U.S. ports are forecasted to grow at two times the rate of the overall U.S. container market.

New terminals and facilities South Carolina has a multibillion dollar plan to ensure that our ports have the infrastructure to keep freight moving even in light of strong growth and the advent of very large containerships calling the U.S. East Coast.

The key elements of this plan are: • $837 Million - SCPA-funded Hugh Leatherman Sr. Terminal.

• $432 Million - SCPA-funded improvements to existing facilities such as strengthening the wharf at Wando Welch Terminal; new and higher container cranes and new IT solutions and gate systems • $40 Million – SCPA-funded construction of the South Carolina Inland Port Dillon.

• $300 Million - Funds set aside by the S.C. General Assembly for deepening Charleston Harbor to accommodate vessels up to 14,000 TEU on all tides, meaning the ability to handle a vessel drafting 48 feet 24 hours a day.

SOUTH CAROLINA PORT GUIDE

(Capital Planning)

• $250 Million – State of S.C.-funded Navy Base Intermodal Facility. A new dual-access intermodal rail terminal serving the Port of Charleston less than one mile from the new SCPA terminal • $200 Million – Dedicated fly-over highway connecting the Leatherman Sr. Terminal to Interstate 26.

The Leatherman Sr. Terminal is the only new container terminal permitted and under construction anywhere in the U.S. The current plan calls for development on approximately 280 acres with a 3,500-foot wharf and 52 feet of water. Phase 1 is expected to be operational prior to 2020 and will enhance Port of Charleston container capacity by about 50%. Phase 1 is currently scheduled to encompass 171 acres.

Charleston’s newest container terminal was recently officially named for a South Carolina state senator. The terminal currently under construction (seen below in 2015) at the former Naval Base in North Charleston will henceforth be named the Sen. Hugh K. Leatherman Sr. Terminal. A rendering of the terminal at full buildout is shown above.

ON THE JOB

While Charleston’s primary business sector is the container business, noncontainer business remains a vital aspect of the port’s diversified services. At Columbus Street Terminal, we handle high-value breakbulk such as power generating equipment and automobiles, as well as traditional breakbulk such as metals (shown), forest products and project cargo.
