Tour of the South Carolina Inland Port at Greer, SC
Excursion | FULL (Membership Required)
Did you know you can have a shipping “port” on dry land? We in South Carolina have two of them, and they are indeed on dry land in Greer and in Dillon! We’d like to give you a tour. We are sure you’d be fascinated. South Carolina has invested heavily in the establishment and support of our South Carolina Inland Ports because of our Port of Charleston, an important destination for international shipping. Once delivered, goods must move from the Charleston to their inland destinations, or from those U.S. sources to Charleston and then to the world. Our inland ports provide methods of transportation. And boy are they busy! Our two Inland Ports remain so year-round. The investment in Greer and Dillon inland ports has shown to be truly international, connecting industry and commerce in multiple states through the Port of Charleston to the global marketplace. The size and scope of their operations is hard to believe unless seen first-hand. Come see how that happens and hear how important that is to South Carolina.
