Port of Charleston

The Port of Charleston is a seaport located in South Carolina in the Southeastern United States. The port's facilities span three municipalities — Charleston, North Charleston, and Mount Pleasant — with six public terminals owned and operated by the South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA). These facilities handle containers, motor vehicles and other rolling stock, non-containerized goods and project cargo, as well as Charleston's cruise ship operation. Additional facilities in the port are privately owned and operated, handling bulk commodities like petroleum, coal and steel.

The Port of Charleston is known for efficiently run terminals, ample capacity, reliable service and customer-centric operations at the Port of Charleston’s marine terminals and two rail-served inland ports. The Port of Charleston ensures the efficient movement of cargo between South Carolina and global markets, serving as a vital economic engine for the Southeast.

Deepening of the Port of Charleston

​On June 26, 2016, the world’s largest container ship completed its first voyage through the newly expanded Panama Canal. This $5.4B expansion project doubled the canal’s shipping capacity allowing the ability to service the largest container ships on the East Coast.

The Port of Charleston is capitalizing on the Panama Canal expansion. The current depth of the Charleston harbor is 45’, and the harbor entrance is 47’ during mean low tide. To meet the depth requirements of the largest container ships that call into the Port of Charleston, the harbor is being deepened to 52’, which will allow all post-Panamax ships to be served 24 hours a day.

Esto es ideal si está comprando de múltiples proveedores/fábricas/fabricantes de Alibaba pero desea que todos sus productos se envíen juntos como un solo envío internacional para minimizar sus costos de envío. La consolidación a veces se confunde con el reempaque, pero en realidad la consolidación puede ocurrir con o sin reempaque. La consolidación simplemente se refiere al acto de enviar varios paquetes al mismo tiempo como un solo envío; no es necesario que todos se combinen en un paquete grande, siempre que se envíen juntos (al mismo tiempo), se considera un envío consolidado. Hay un cargo de envío base (que se puede considerar como un cargo de envío mínimo) para cada envío que realiza y el envío de varios paquetes al mismo tiempo (lo que constituye un envío consolidado) garantiza que solo tenga que pagar este cargo base una vez en lugar de pagar para cada paquete que se envía por separado.

 

Incluso sin volver a empaquetarlos en un solo paquete, el envío de varios paquetes al mismo tiempo lo ayuda a ahorrar porque solo se le cobra el peso de envío base una vez. Esto ayuda a reducir sus costos de envío internacional. Naturalmente, si se considera apropiado para su envío, la consolidación también puede incluir el reempaque; después de evaluar su envío, si consideramos que combinar todos los artículos en un solo paquete grande o en menos paquetes puede ayudar a reducir su peso volumétrico, lo haremos por usted. sin cargo.
