Construction progresses at #SCPorts Hugh K. Leatherman Terminal. You can see the five ship-to-shore cranes on the wharf. These cranes have 169 feet of lift height above the wharf deck and an outreach of 228 feet. The 25 hybrid RTGs are in the container yard.
“The Leatherman Terminal can handle more cargo and bigger ships, including a 19,000-TEU vessel. Global companies need access to well-run ports with cargo capacity. The Leatherman Terminal will be a significant economic driver for South Carolina, further supporting growth of existing businesses and attracting new investments to the state.” - Jim Newsome, SC Ports president and CEO
