Deepening the Waters

摘要

Charleston Harbor has been a key economic driver in South Carolina for more than 300 years. With the deepest water in the region today, Charleston offers a maintained harbor -45 feet deep at mean low tide throughout the main shipping channel and -47 feet deep in the entrance channel A five- to six-foot tidal lift provides even deeper access for several hours during the day. In addition to having deep water now, the Port of Charleston is advancing a next-generation harbor deepening project.
