"As we continue to handle record volumes on our terminals, SC Ports is working alongside our maritime community and logistics partners to navigate the many challenges felt across the entire supply chain," said SC Ports CEO Jim Newsome.

"We are responding to customers' needs as we make progress on reducing the backlog."

Strong US consumer appetite for retail goods continues to drive record cargo levels, with imports up 16 per cent year on year in March.

SC Ports handled 264,334 TEU at Wando Welch Terminal, North Charleston Terminal, and Hugh K Leatherman Terminal in March, up six per cent from last year.

SC Ports has moved 2.14 million TEU thus far in the fiscal year 2022, from July through March, up 15 per cent fiscal year-over-year.

SC Ports handled 145,415 pier containers in March, up five per cent from last year.

Thus far in the fiscal year 2022, SC Ports has moved 1.19 million pier containers, up 15 per cent from the same period the year prior.

"We will continue investing in strategic port infrastructure and deploying creative solutions to ensure fluidity for our customers," said Mr Newsome.
