New stevedore for Charleston
Three industry names combine to form Charleston Stevedoring Company LLC
Charleston Stevedoring Company LLC (CSC) is a new stevedoring joint venture company formed by Marine Terminals Corporation – East (Ports America), Ceres Marine Terminals Inc. (Ceres), and SSA Atlantic LLC (SSA). CSC became operational in the Port of Charleston this week and has the support of the South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA).
“The new entity will provide significant benefits to the Port of Charleston, including improved container terminal services through the consolidated operations at all berths, as well as more efficient vessel turn times and improved equipment utilisation,” CSC President Dan Hall said. “The combined company will optimise use of terminal capacity and improve integration between terminal, vessel and gate operations.”
“The Southeast is the best place to be in the port business with both its thriving business sector and growing population boosting imports and exports,” SCPA President and CEO Jim Newsome said. “CSC will enhance the ability to market the Port of Charleston to a broader customer base with a focus on continued growth for this strategic market.”
“As a top 10 U.S. container port, S.C. Ports recognises its role in ensuring the efficient flow of cargo through the Port of Charleston,” SCPA COO Barbara Melvin said. “CSC will enable more efficient vessel turn times, equipment usage and staffing to handle continued growth of cargo volumes and ship sizes.”
