The first quarter of the fiscal year (July-September) was the strongest quarter for Charleston container volume in four years with 400,492 TEUs handled by the US East Coast port, a 13.3 percent gain over the same period last year.

Container volume for the calendar year to date was up 9.4 percent. September container volume in Charleston continued to show year-over-year growth with the port handling 131,686 last month, up 5.3 percent.

Breakbulk volume at the port surged to its highest quarter in more than two decades, with 302,611 pier tonnes handled in the July to September quarter.
