South Carolina Ports’ Inland Port Dillon saw its busiest month in March, with more than 4,300 containers handled.

That volume is 16% higher than the previous record set in December 2022 and higher than the facility’s 3,664 rail moves handled in February, itself a record for that month.

The facility, which connects the Pee Dee region of South Carolina to the Port of Charleston via eastern U.S. railroad CSX (NASDAQ: CSX), handles imports and exports for companies such as Harbor Freight Tools, International Paper, The Anderson’s and Darling International. The facility also serves the regional agricultural community and businesses such as Performance Ag, Palmetto Grain, Smithfield Grain, Northwest Grains and C&M Hog Farms.
