A trio dancing Charleston
A new joint venture for terminal operations and stevedoring services started operations in early May.
In order to provide container terminal and stevedoring services in the Port of Charleston in South Carolina, the three service providers Marine Terminals Corporation – East (Ports America), Ceres Marine Terminals (Ceres), and SSA Atlantic (SSA) have come together to form a joint venture company. The new JV, known as Charleston Stevedoring Company LLC (CSC), started operations on 4 May.
SCPA president and CEO Jim Newsome said in a press release: “CSC will enhance the ability to market the Port of Charleston to a broader customer base.”
While Ports America is a major terminal operator and stevedore in USA, Ceres is a transportation service provider, with stevedoring and terminal operations across multiple cargo types and SSA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carrix, is a marine and rail terminal operator in the Americas and beyond.
