Inland Port Dillon is fully operational, according to Erin Dhand, Corporate Communications and Community Affairs Manager for the South Carolina Ports Authority.
“We’re routinely running trains between Dillon and Charleston six days per week,” said Dhand.
“The facility is handling increasing volumes of cargo for our anchor customer, Harbor Freight Tools, and seeing strong interest by other clients. We’re also accumulating more empty containers on terminal, a benefit for export customers who can source needed empties from the terminal locally rather than in Charleston,” Dhand said.
“We expect Inland Port Dillon to serve as a catalyst for economic development in the region similarly to Inland Port Greer,” Dhand said. “Distribution centers, expansions of current port users and any port-dependent business (those companies with international supply chains) represent the types of positive growth that Inland Port Dillon will help recruit to the area,” said Dhand.
