Progress at #SCPorts Hugh K. Leatherman Sr. Terminal. Phase One, which opens in March 2021, will have a 1,400-foot wharf that can accommodate up to a 19,000 TEU vessel. It will also have five ship-to-shore cranes with 169-ft of lift height, as well as 25 new hybrid rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes.
“In a little more than a year, ships will call on the country’s newest container terminal,” S.C. Ports Authority president and CEO Jim Newsome said. “The opening of the Hugh K. Leatherman Sr. Terminal in March 2021 will greatly enhance our cargo capacity and big-ship capability. Our strategic investments and years of hard work are coming to fruition at just the right time as more ships call on the East Coast. This new terminal propels S.C. Ports into the future.”
“Our engineering team and contracting partners have been working diligently to complete the construction of Phase One of the Hugh K. Leatherman Sr. Terminal,” said Walter Lagarenne, S.C. Ports’ Director of Engineering and Permitting. “Phase One work is progressing well, and the terminal is on track to welcome container ships, including ultra-large container ship class vessels, to the new 1,400-foot wharf in March 2021.”
