South Carolina Ports isn’t just moving cargo — it’s driving our entire state forward, creating billions in economic impact and hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs.
Each year, SC Ports pumps $87 billion into our state’s economy, including $44 billion right here in the Upstate. Plus, the port system supports 1 in 9 jobs across South Carolina.
As the No. 8 container port in the country, SC Ports makes our state a magnet for businesses looking to invest and grow. The newly expanded Inland Port Greer, for example, offers more cargo capacity and gives Upstate shippers direct access to the Port of Charleston.
Or, as SC Ports CEO Barbara Melvin says, “We’re a port for the entire state, and you can see that impact in every region with new investment and high-paying jobs.”
