South Carolina Ports is quickly working ships and reducing its vessel queue by implementing creative operational solutions and temporarily pausing toe wall construction for ocean carrier and cargo owner customers. Operational solutions have already helped decrease both wait times and the number of ships waiting. SC Ports has three ships at anchor today, and this project pause will quickly and effectively work to further reduce vessel delays. Full release:

South Carolina Ports has reached an agreement with the International Longshoremen’s Association that will allow us to reopen Leatherman Terminal together.
