With its addition to CMA CGM’s AMERXL rotation, South Carolina Ports now has more capacity between the Port of Charleston and major trade ports in South America, with six fixed-day weekly services to and from the region.
The port rotation includes Port Everglades, Florida; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; New York, New York; Charleston, South Carolina; Cartagena (Colombia), Guayaquil (Ecuador), Callao (Peru), and San Antonio (Chile). Southbound transit times are 5-17 days.
The AMERXL service offers importers additional reefer access from production-rich regions for high-quality seafood, produce and flowers, while exporters gain expanded access to markets for U.S. protein, SC Ports officials said in a press release.
“As the Southeast population continues to grow, enhanced cold chain access is critical for importers in the region,” SC Ports CEO Micah Mallace said. “SC Ports provides highly efficient reefer handling service, more than 2,000 reefer slots and ample cold storage facilities near the Port of Charleston.”
The Port of Charleston is served by CSX and Norfolk Southern Railway.
