South Carolina Ports Authority (SC Ports) leaders, along with government officials and maritime stakeholders, gathered in Charleston December 5 to mark the official completion of the Charleston Harbor Post 45 Deepening Project, which increased the ship channel's depth from 45 feet to an East Coast-leading 52 feet. What's more, the entrance channel leading to Charleston s harbor has been deepened to 54 feet, from a prior depth of 47 feet. "It is a truly historical moment to be celebrating this monumental achievement," SC Ports President and CEO Barbara Melvin said. "Charleston Harbor has been deepened to 52 feet. With the deepest harbor on the East Coast, we can efficiently work mega container ships at any tide. This investment will bring economic success to South Carolina for generations to come." |
