The ports of Georgetown and Charleston, South Carolina

The Port of Charleston is a port located in South Carolina in the southeastern United States. Port facilities span three municipalities: Charleston, North Charleston, and Mount Pleasant, with six public terminals owned and operated by the South Carolina Port Authority (SCPA). The facility handles containers, automobiles and other rolling stock, non-container and project cargo, and Charleston cruise ships. Additional facilities at the port are privately operated and handle bulk cargo such as oil, coal and steel.

The ports of Georgetown and Charleston together form the South Carolina ports. The importance of the port to the economy of South Carolina can be gauged by the fact that it directly or indirectly provides 10 percent of all jobs in the state, that too, offering wages that are 32 percent higher than the state average.
