The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and South Carolina Ports (SC Ports) signed a feasibility study agreement to examine deepening the North Charleston Terminal channel. Currently at 48 feet, this deepening project is part of a broader effort to enhance the competitiveness of Charleston Harbor, which was deepened to 52 feet in 2022.
The study, authorized by Congress in the Water Resources Development Act of 2024, will analyze the engineering, environmental, and economic implications of the proposed deepening. Federal funding for this project is included in the FY26 Federal Appropriations. Successful completion of this project will ensure all SC Ports terminals can accommodate the largest container ships, further supporting economic growth and job creation in South Carolina.
