GOOD NEWS:  Two new ship-to-shore cranes arrive in Mount Pleasant

Staff reports  |  The Port of Charleston on March 1 welcomed two new ship-to-shore cranes at the Wando Welch Terminal to further enhance the handling of neo-Panamax vessels.  The next day, the S.C. Ports Authority (SCPA) celebrated the beginning of Charleston Harbor Deepening Project construction.

“It is fitting to welcome the arrival of two new cranes as we begin construction on the Charleston Harbor Deepening Project,” said Jim Newsome, SCPA president and CEO. “The cranes are an integral part of the Port’s plans to modernize existing terminals in order to more efficiently handle big ships. Along with the Wando Terminal wharf strengthening project, bigger cranes enable the Port to continue to meet the needs of our customers and deliver the operational reliability and productivity we are known for in the U.S. port industry.”
