en.Wedoany.com Reported - Inland Port Greer in South Carolina, USA, handled nearly 200,000 rail lifts in 2025, setting a new annual record since the facility began operations. This milestone further solidifies its position as a key intermodal hub in the Southeastern United States, providing rail connectivity for the Port of Charleston and regional markets.
Located along the I-85 corridor between Atlanta and Charlotte, the inland port enables shippers to reach 94 million consumers within a one-day truck drive. The facility offers 24/7 gate operations with an 11-minute turnaround time and provides overnight rail service six days a week via Norfolk Southern Railway. Since commencing operations in 2013, Inland Port Greer has continued to expand and now serves over 150 customers across the Southeast, including manufacturers, retailers, and consumer goods companies.
Micah Mallace, President and CEO of the South Carolina Ports Authority, stated: "What began as a strategic investment has become a critical asset for the Southeast supply chain. We deliver a high level of service at a low cost, a rare combination in the market."
To support continued growth, the South Carolina Ports Authority recently completed a $55 million expansion project. The upgrades increase the facility's annual rail handling capacity to 300,000 lifts, with improvements including expanded container yards, additional chassis storage space, and 9,000 feet of new rail track to accommodate longer trains. The Greer-to-Charleston corridor is now one of the largest international intermodal lanes in the Norfolk Southern network.
Shawn Tureman, Vice President of Intermodal and Automotive at Norfolk Southern, said: "The recent milestone demonstrates that Inland Port Greer has proven to be a success. Our rail service offers speed, reliability, and flexibility while reducing environmental impact by shifting freight from road to rail." The South Carolina Ports Authority stated it will continue to invest in the facility to support supply chain efficiency and meet growing customer demand.
