SBJ Staff Report –

Aug.17, 2010 – At their monthly board meeting, the South Carolina State Ports Authority (SCSPA) Board approved $26 million in projects, and announced that the Port of Charleston reported a 26 percent increase in container volume for July over the same month last year.

July was the port’s strongest month since October 2008, with shipping container volume of 73,818 pier containers, up 26 percent from 58,603 pier containers in July 2009.

While this was the fifth month of double-digit growth, SCSPA officials reported that “it is unclear if the national and global economy is truly on the rebound and can be sustained, or if recent increases are more of a reflection of inventory restocking and other short-term drivers.”

Also during the August meeting, the SCSPA board awarded $26 million in construction and professional service contracts, including:

- Columbus Street Terminal Raise and Pave – A $20.57-million construction project to raise and pave 54 acres at Columbus Street Terminal to correct subsurface settling. The work will raise the acreage approximately one foot, with a 12-year life expectancy of the work. North Charleston-based Banks Construction Company will perform the work while S&ME will provide quality assurance services in the amount of $216,600. Construction runs from October to April.

- North Charleston Terminal Paving – A $1.59-million project to raise and repair seven acres in an area serving Evergreen at North Charleston Terminal.

- Gate Modifications – A project for improvements to interchange lanes and supporting gate infrastructure at the Wando Welch and North Charleston Terminals for implementation of a common gate structure. The work for this contract, from various vendors, is not to exceed $3.2 million.

- Drum Island Soil Testing for Marsh Restoration – An amendment for soil testing on the south end of Drum Island. As part of the mitigation package for the Navy Base Terminal, the SCSPA committed to recreate 22 acres of intertidal marsh on the site. Newkirk Environmental will perform additional soil testing before proceeding with construction. The project amendment is estimated at $224,625.

- Security Monitoring – A $500,000-project dealing with the port’s surveillance systems and the central monitoring command and control facility. The project is fully funded by a federal grant.

June Volumes Contribute to Strong Finish for GPA

SBJ Staff Report

Aug. 9, 2010 - Both the Port of Savannah and the Port Charleston are reporting growing numbers and revenues, as their competition for business along the East Coast continues.

And Friday afternoon, the South Carolina State Ports Authority announced that the Port of Charleston's new 280-acre container terminal on the former Navy Base has the green light. “This morning, the South Carolina State Ports Authority and the South Carolina Coastal Conservation League signed a settlement agreement, ending a years-long legal battle,” according to a joint press release.

But Georgia Ports Authority’s (GPA) Executive Director Curtis J. Foltz has good news as well, reporting last week that the Port of Savannah had a 34 percent increase in both TEUs and containers moved for the month of June 2010, according to helping to lift final numbers for fiscal year 2010 that ended June 30.

“The GPA handled more than 2.63 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit containers), added new services and maintained its position as the fourth highest volume container port in fiscal year 2010.”

For the month of June 2010, the GPA posted a 34 percent increase with 240,734 TEUs compared with 179,451 TEUs handled in June 2009.

“The second half of the year was particularly strong with signs of economic recovery, retail sector inventory replenishment and continued strong demand for U.S. produced products boosting export volumes,” said Foltz. “The 9.7 percent increase in TEUs for the year allowed the GPA to fully recover from decreases experienced in FY2009 and return to the record levels reached in FY2008,” Foltz added.

The month of June 2010 was the third highest volume overall for the GPA in terms of both TEUs and containers moved. In June 2010, the GPA moved 135,297 containers compared with 100,660 containers in June 2009.

Also, during FY2010, the GPA experienced a 9.7 percent increase in total TEUs and a 7.3-percent increase in total tonnage for all terminal facilities handling a total of 24,288,789 tons.

The port at Brunswick has also had a good year, surpassing 2.3 million tons, a 15.4-percent increase compared with the previous year. Autos and machinery units at Colonel’s Island Terminal totaled 332,100 units, posting a 16.2-percent increase compared with the previous year. These volume gains can be attributed to a number of factors including a renewed consumer market for automobiles and the addition of a Mercedes-Benz USA vehicle-processing center on Colonel’s Island Terminal. which opened in January 2010.

Additionally, the Port of Brunswick recorded its best performance to date in the movement of agri-bulk cargoes in FY2010, handling more than one million tons at Colonel’s Island Terminal, a 38.7-percent increase compared with FY2009.

GPA analysis of its total financial impact on the State of Georgia includes more than 295,000 jobs throughout the state annually, and a contribute of $15.5 billion in income, $61.7 billion in revenue and $2.6 billion in state and local taxes to Georgia’s economy.

Port of Charleston
The South Carolina State Ports Authority, which operates the Port of Charleston, “already the deepest in the Southeast,” they state, has reached another milestone with container volumes in the Port of Charleston increasing 19 percent in the first half of 2010, buoyed by new shipping services and major new investments in the area.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Charleston District has also concluded the Reconnaissance Study for the post-45-foot deepening project in Charleston Harbor. The study determined a federal interest in proceeding to the next step in the process – the feasibility phase – to further define time and costs associated with deepening Charleston’s channels. Georgia Ports Authority is awaiting the Corps report and opinion on the option of deepening the Savannah River to expand future capabilities at the Savannah port.

In June, pier containers at the Port of Charleston increased almost 34 percent over the previous year – the fourth straight month of year-over-year, double-digit increases.

Despite widespread declines in global trade in 2009, the SCSPA volumes rebounded during the past six months and closed its most recent fiscal year exceeding its budgeted container volume. In the accounting period that ended June 30, Charleston handled 741,208 pier containers, off 5.2 percent from FY2009.

“Despite a very challenging economic environment, the SCSPA posted an operating profit and enjoyed strong volume increases over the past six months,” said Bill Stern, chairman of the SCSPA board. “While we expect volume to moderate in the latter half of the year, we’re encouraged that business has returned at such a fast pace and we’re headed in the right direction.”

Contributing to the recent volume gains, Charleston has added three new shipping services in FY2010, including Mediterranean Shipping Company’s Golden Gate Service (GGS). The GGS, which had its first local call in February, is bringing ships of more than 8,000 20-foot equivalent units to the port on a regular basis, Stern added.

“The port is handling the biggest ships on the East Coast today while working toward even deeper channels that will secure our state’s future in global trade,” said Jim Newsome, SCSPA president and CEO.

On the cargo development side, major global corporations are locating or expanding in the port’s service area while the SCSPA has launched new targeted sales efforts:
TBC Corporation, parent company of Tire Kingdom, is the largest distribution center to announce in the past year. TBC is locating a new 1.1 million square foot distribution facility in Berkeley County and will import tires through the Port of Charleston.

Several other importers and logistics firms located or expanded in the area, while private developers are proceeding with plans to build more than 20 million square feet in new industrial space near Charleston’s deepwater port facilities.

Targeted marketing efforts, including a new rail-served warehouse initiative and an expanded overweight permit for refrigerated containers are also boosting container volume.

For the fiscal year that began July 1, the SCSPA is projecting a seven percent increase in container volume and a more than 50 percent increase in breakbulk and non-container cargo.

At the same time, the SCSPA plans to invest nearly $77 million this fiscal year on terminal improvements, including work on the SCSPA’s new container terminal on the former Navy Base as well as a new cruise terminal in downtown Charleston.

June 28, 2010 - At the Georgia Ports Authority’s (GPA) monthly board meeting this morning, Alec L. Poitevint, II, of Bainbridge was elected chairman of the board, taking over for Savannah’s Steve Green who has served as chairman for the past three years.

Poitevint was first appointed to the Board of Directors in July 2007 by Governor Sonny Perdue and previously served as Vice Chairman. He is the Chairman and President of Southeastern Minerals, Inc. and its affiliated companies headquartered in Bainbridge.

“Steve Green has been a tireless advocate for the port,” said GPA’s Executive Director Curtis J. Foltz. “Thanks to his leadership, the GPA is poised to strengthen its global leadership position and strengthen the long-term interests and advantages of our region.”

Poitevint currently serves as Vice-Chairman and Director of First Port City Bank of Bainbridge, is Chairman of American Feed Industry Insurance Company and past Chairman of the American Feed Industry Association and National Feed Ingredients Association. He serves as a Director of the Georgia Agribusiness Council and was Federal Commissioner of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint (ACF) Water Compact. He was a former mission member of the U.S. Agricultural Trade and Development Mission to Europe in 1990 and U.S. Delegate to World Food Summit in 2002.

“Clearly, our number-one priority is the deepening of the Savannah River channel,” said Poitevint. “I look forward to working with my fellow board members and GPA staff to enhance our role as a major economic engine of our state.”

Other Board members elected to one-year offices were James R. Lientz, Jr. of Atlanta, Vice Chairman and Roy H. Fickling of Macon, Secretary and Treasurer. Lientz served as the state of Georgia’s chief operating officer for the last seven and a half years and will return to the private sector on June 30. Fickling is the president of Fickling & Company, Inc., a regional real estate development, brokerage, management and consulting firm.

Georgia’s deepwater ports and inland barge terminals support more than 295,000 jobs throughout the state annually and contribute $15.5 billion in income, $61.7 billion in revenue and $2.6 billion in state and local taxes to Georgia’s economy.

Foltz announced at this morning’s meeting that the GPA experienced 12.4 percent overall tonnage growth, with a 25.3-percent container growth through the Port of Savannah in May 2010 vs. May 2009.

The container volume represents six consecutive months of double-digit growth in that part of the GPA’s business (See chart below.) There is no container traffic through the Port of Brunswick.

“May was the sixth busiest month ever recorded for container throughput and continued the string of double-digit growth experienced since last December,” said Foltz. “The growth experienced in the second half of this fiscal year continues to signal improved economic recovery, retail inventory re-stocking and ongoing strength in U.S. products overseas with significant export increases.”

Overall tonnage for May 2010 reported gains of 12.4 percent, which brings the GPA’s fiscal year-to-date (July 2009 through May 2010) volume to a 6.5-percent increase compared with the same time period last year. Import growth increased during May as well, while export products and empty container repositioning also supported the extremely strong month.

At the Port of Brunswick, the movement of auto and machinery units has also experienced growth for the past six months. Colonel’s Island Terminal moved 35,873 total units in May 2010, which is an 82.4-percent increase compared with May 2009.

“It is clear just how strong an economic engine our ports have become and how that engine is helping to fuel our economic recovery,” said GPA’s Chairman of the Board Stephen S. Green. “The GPA’s focus on the future even during the economic recession is starting to pay dividends today.”

Georgia’s deepwater ports and inland barge terminals support more than 295,000 jobs throughout the state annually and contribute $15.5 billion in income, $61.7 billion in revenue and $2.6 billion in state and local taxes to Georgia’s economy.

May 24 - Ports officials from around the world will gather in Savannah in two weeks for the mid-term board meeting of the International Association of Ports and Harbors. “Economic Recovery in the Maritime Trade” will be the theme of the meeting June 7-9 at the Savannah Marriott Riverfront.

Susume Naruse, the IAPH Secretary General, says the board will hear from its technical committees on the first day of the conference. “The second day is devoted to the Port Forum, which is comprised of four sub sessions, “Transportation Forum: Trends and Economic Projections”, “Today's Trends for U.S. Export/Imports: What's on the Horizon?” “Protecting Maritime Trade” and “Greening the Supply Chain”.” Naruse says the third day will be devoted to regional board meetings and the regular IAPH board meeting, followed by a bus tour of the Garden City terminal.

You can register for the board meeting online at http://www.gaports.com/iaph/.

The IAPH visit coincides with news of continued traffic growth at the Savannah port. The Georgia Ports Authority announced last week that container traffic grew by double digits for the fifth consecutive month, with April volume up 25.6 percent from April 2009. “The volume increases experienced in most commodity groups signals a continued economic recovery in most global markets,” said GPA Executive Director Curtis Foltz. The GPA’s fiscal year-to-date (July 2009 through April 2010) volume to a 6-percent increase compared with the same time period last year. Export containers continued to lead the recovery, posting a 30.4-percent increase.

At the Port of Brunswick, the movement of auto and machinery units has also experienced growth for the past five months. Colonel’s Island Terminal moved 33,815 total units in April 2010, which is a 75.9-percent increase compared with April 2009.

The ports authority also recently announced an expansion of its Latin American business, as it is now receiving weekly shipments from Mediterranean Shipping Company’s West Coast South America operation. “Even during the recession, the GPA continued to add capacity and improve operations,” said GPA’s Chairman of the Board Stephen S. Green.

May 16-Port of Savannah’s Silt Suspension System Allows it to Maintain 48 Feet at Berth

NEWS - Ports & Transportation

SBJ Staff Report

State of the art technology means less dredging of the channel at the Savannah Port according to the Georgia Ports Authority’s Executive Director. The GPA's silt suspension system, which is used to maintain a depth of 48 feet at four of the Garden City teminal berths, has now been modified to reduce the amount of maintenance dredging that is needed while also boosting oxygen levels in the Savannah River.

“I am proud to report that Garden City Terminal already offers 48 feet at four of its berths, allowing Savannah to accommodate post-Panamax ships today,” said GPA Executive Director Curtix Foltz. “While the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project is essential to the Port of Savannah’s future growth, maintaining 48 feet at berth enables the GPA to accommodate larger vessels, which are beginning to call on East Coast ports in anticipation of the Panama Canal Expansion.”

The GPA now has a silt suspension system consisting of 15 units online at Garden City Terminal. These units substantially reduce the need for maintenance dredging at the berths. The computer-controlled system produces a low-velocity flow that works in tandem with passing tidal currents to keep water moving near the berth, resulting in reduced siltation. The silt suspension units use hydraulic motors driven by vegetable oil.

“The new air-injection system is an elegant combination of two technologies,” said GPA’s Senior Director of Engineering and Facilities Maintenance Wilson Tillotson. “It uses silt suspension to disperse natural sediment into the river and assists with the absorption of oxygen into the water.”

The modified silt suspension unit in Berth 9 injects oxygen into the marine environment. By gently introducing air into the river, dissolved oxygen is added into the water and protects aquatic life from potential diminished oxygen levels. This air-injecting unit operates from May through October, when the dissolved oxygen levels are naturally diminished in the Savannah River.

Overall tonnage grows by 29.7 percent for the month of February

SBJ.com Staff Report

March 22, 2010 – At last Friday’s Georgia Ports Authority’s (GPA) board meeting,. Executive Director Curtis J. Foltz had good news to share. The GPA has continued to experience positive growth during the month of February and has recorded three consecutive months of increased trade through the Savannah and Brunswick ports.

“Three consecutive months of double-digit growth at the Georgia Ports Authority is a positive sign that overall market conditions have improved considerably since last year,” said Foltz.

February 2010 tonnage was up 29.7 percent which brings the GPA’s year-to-date volume for the first eight months to a 2.7-percent increase compared with the same time period in the prior year. It’s not comparable to the growth rates of the past, but all increases are well news.

Container volume showed strong growth, said Foltz, posting a 20.6-percent increase in twenty-foot equivalent units or TEUs compared with the same period last year for a total of 202,620 TEUs in February 2010.

“To post three consecutive months of very strong growth in difficult economic conditions is a tribute to the hard work and ingenuity of the men and women of the GPA,” said GPA’s Chairman of the Board Stephen S. Green.

In other board news. GPA reported a 35.8-percent growth in total tonnage in December 2009, 32.2-growth in January 2010, and 29.7-percent growth in February 2010 over the prior year.

The movement of auto and machinery units on Colonel’s Island Terminal in Brunswick also experienced an increase for the past three months as compared with similar months in previous years with increases of 46.7 percent in December 2009, 2.7 percent in January 2010 and 15.7 percent in February 2010.

In Brunswick, agri-bulk commodities posted record volumes for the fourth straight month with 207,502 tons moved in February 2010, which was a 248-percent increase compared with February 2009. In fact, agri-bulk volume at Colonel’s Island Terminal has increased by 100.8 percent for the fiscal year-to-date.

The movement of auto and machinery units on Colonel’s Island in Brunswick also experienced an increase of 15.7 percent in the month of February with a fiscal year-to-date decrease of 6.8 percent.

Volkswagen recently renewed its commitment to the Port of Brunswick by signing a new five-year contract with International Auto Processing effective May 1, 2010.

Maintenance dredging in Brunswick was completed, which brought the Port of Brunswick’s entrance channel back to its authorized depth and width, the board was told.

The entrance channel is authorized at a 38 foot depth and 500 foot width. The inner harbor is authorized at a depth of 36 feet and width of 400 feet. A combination of FY2009 stimulus funds through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act or ARRA were used with FY2010 operations and maintenance funds, which were required for the $10-million project.

Georgia’s deepwater ports and inland barge terminals support more than 286,476 jobs throughout the state annually and contribute $14.9 billion in income, $55.8 billion in revenue and $2.8 billion in state and local taxes to Georgia’s economy, according to Foltz.

Feb.22 - Removal I-16 Exit Flyover to Get Looked at from All Angles

James Riule, chairman of the MLK Jr. Blvd and Montgomery St. Corridor Revitalization Committee

Savannah has made some sweet music over the years, but the homegrown sound City Manager Michael Brown wants to hear will come from jackhammers breaking up the concrete of the Interstate-16 exit flyover.

“I’d like us to start talking about the tools to take this thing down,” Brown said to a capacity crowd on hand at the Con-Ed Center last Weds. night for the kick off the Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard-Montgomery Street Charrette and Expo.

Removing the 35-year-old flyover presents an opportunity to “restore the fabric of our city,” said Brown, who expects a study to be completed by fall on demolition and traffic routing strategies for that area.

The “I-16 Exit Ramp Removal Study” will be managed by the Savannah-Chatham County Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC), conducted by the Columbia, S.C., consulting firm Wilbur Smith Associates, and assisted by the Savannah urban design firm Sottile & Sottile.

The study will address the civic implications of removing the exit ramp, economic implications, impact on real estate values and a transportation analysis.

This new study, being funded by Special Local Option Sales Tax money, will build on a 2008 Georgia Department of Transportation study that looked at a trio of traffic scenarios that would result by removal of the flyover. Each scenario found that traffic would be improved, according to Ellen Harris, a historic preservation officer with the MPC who will also assist with the forthcoming ramp removal study.

“That sort of gave us a green light to look at it further,” Harris said.

The new study’s civic element will identify roads and avenues cut off by the exit ramp and ways in which its removal would restore connectivity to downtown and surrounding neighborhoods.

The economic analysis portion is expected to show that without the obstacle of a freeway ramp, the areas just to the south and west of MLK Jr. Boulevard would see some of the economic resurgence enjoyed in recent years by Montgomery Street and other neighborhoods north of the ramp, planners say.

At Wednesday’s presentation, design consultant Christian Sottile cited the rise in residential and commercial values that followed the replacement of San Francisco’s Embarcadero Freeway heavily damaged in a 1989 earthquake. The freeway ran along the city’s waterfront. Replacing it with a street level boulevard led to property value increases of 50 percent, according to Sottile, who called the removal of the I-16 exit ramp “an incredibly important part of revitalization” of the entire MLK Jr. Boulevard corridor.

He believes that the construction of the ramp in Savannah caused the demolition of “entire neighborhoods,” and said Savannah is among a select group of U.S. cities that has conceded they made poor transportation choices in the post and are now ready to make up for them.

The real estate analysis portion of the study, to be performed largely by the Savannah firm of Gilbert & Lattimore, is expected to give insights into the value of the nine acres now occupied by the flyover under various development scenarios.

Harris said public comments gathered during the charette and in the weeks that follow will help guide proposals for redevelopment of the flyover land. She said planners envision green space, recreation areas and dense, but non-intensive, commercial development.

The transportation analysis will look at options for exiting and assessing I-16 and will evaluate different scenarios for the extension of the existing grid pattern. Further, it will provide an analysis of traffic redistribution and road alignments.

Harris said the study that will go to the City Council will not address funding sources other than the Georgia Department of Transportation and Federal Highway Administration. “They’ll have to look at how to pay for it,” she said.

She expects a 6- to 8-year timeframe for tearing down the ramp and replacing it with new a new road network, though she noted that is an optimistic estimate.

Improvements are under way along Dean Forest Road in Garden City from Interstate-16 to Ogeechee Road. The project, funded by Chatham County and planned for three phases, will significantly improve the stretch of roadway from I-16 to Ogeechee Road.

The first phase, overseen by Chatham County Engineer Al Bungard, involves grading and installing three arched bottomless culverts along the Hardin Canal area near the Dead Man’s Curve on Dean Forest. Phase one is designed to improve drainage along Dean Forest Road. That portion of the project is expected to be completed by December 2010.

The second and third phases are to widen Dean Forest from two lanes to four lanes with a median from Ogeechee Road to the Dead Man’s Curve area near the Hardin Canal and from the Dead Man’s Curve area to I-16.

Traffic signals and new turn lanes are to also be installed at the intersection of Dean Forest and Ogeechee Road.

Planners say the stretch of Dean Forest that runs from I-16 to the Hillcrest Abbey West Cemetery, located at 1336 Dean Forest Road, will conform to an urban design standard, which includes a tree-lined shoulder, landscaped median and sidewalks for pedestrians and bicycl

Second Quarter FY2010 yields growth in containers for Savannah and grain in Brunswick

1/25/2010 - Georgia Ports Authority’s (GPA) Executive Director Curtis J. Foltz announced today at its board meeting that the second quarter of FY2010 (October – December 2009) yielded a 3.6-percent increase in total 20-foot equivalent unit containers (TEUs) compared with the same quarter in the previous year.

“Georgia’s ports are beginning to experience positive signs that the new shipping lines and capacity we added during the economic downturn are driving growth,” said Foltz. “The continued surge in demand for our export commodities is creating opportunities for trade.”

Foltz reported that export volumes for December 2009 increased by 11.4 percent. Loaded import containers also increased by eight percent. Total TEUs handled for the month of December were 121,411, an 18.3 percent increase compared with December 2008.

“The GPA remains cautiously optimistic about the remainder of the current fiscal year,” said GPA’s Chairman of the Board Stephen S. Green. “Our strategic planning has ensured that Georgia’s deepwater ports are prepared to handle the growth demands necessary to advance economic development and opportunity.”

In Brunswick, Colonel’s Island reported record tonnage of 185,424 last month due to increasing volumes in grain for export. This represents an almost four-fold increase compared with December 2008 and yielded a year-to-date increase of 37.5 percent. Auto and machinery units through Brunswick for the month of December increased by 47 percent, but were still down for the fiscal year by 10.4 percent.

Additionally, safety performance throughout GPA’s terminals showed significant improvements for the first half of FY2010 compared with last year, including a 20-percent reduction in chargeable accidents.

Georgia’s deepwater ports and inland barge terminals support more than 286,476 jobs throughout the state annually and contribute $14.9 billion in income, $55.8 billion in revenue and $2.8 billion in state and local taxes to Georgia’s economy.
