Port of Charleston maintains stable volumes in April

In April, the Port of Charleston handled 215,804 TEUs and 118,215 pier containers, which is flat compared to the year prior.

Container volumes remained relatively consistent in April, following two months of container growth, according to SC Ports.



Vehicle imports and exports at the Port of Charleston totaled 12,339 in April, representing a 32% decrease from last year, while railed cargo continues to be a bright spot, with both Inland Ports Greer and Dillon handling strong volumes in recent months.

Inland Port Greer achieved a record April with 18,394 rail moves, representing 14% growth from last April. Greer’s recent expansion increases cargo capacity by 50%, enabling the rail-served inland port to handle 300,000 rail lifts to support growing customer demand in the region.

Inland Port Dillon handled 4,213 rail moves in April. This is down 11% year-over-year, but breaks 4,000 rail moves for the first time this fiscal year.



“We are proactively investing in our port terminals and rail infrastructure to support the growth occurring in the Southeast for the long-term,” said SC Ports President and CEO Barbara Melvin. “As volumes fluctuate in the short term, we are committed to providing fluidity for companies’ supply chains.”
