Did you know? South Carolina Ports moves more than just cargo — it also brings an $87 billion in economic impact for the state every year.

As one of the top 10 container ports in the US, SC Ports attracts businesses, drives investment, and supports one in nine jobs across South Carolina. Plus, these jobs pay about 23% more than the state average.

CEO Barbara Melvin sums it up well: “We’re a port for the entire state.”
