On May 13, the largest container ship to visit the East Coast stopped at Wando Welch terminal after previous stops in Norfolk, VA and Savannah, GA. The 13,092 twenty-foot equivalent (TEU) COSCO Development was piloted in by our R. Weil on the 13th and out by J. Lockwood on the 14th. The SC Ports Authority was expected to move approximately 3,300 containers on and off the Development, setting a new record for crane moves handled by the Port.
