At Argents Express, we understand that choosing the right logistics partner can make all the difference in optimizing your supply chain. Located near the strategically advantageous Port of Charleston, we offer unparalleled warehousing, distribution, fulfillment, and ocean freight services designed to meet the dynamic needs of today’s shippers and retailers.
Charleston: A Premier Logistics Hub
The Port of Charleston is a standout choice for businesses seeking efficient, cost-effective logistics solutions. With the deepest harbor on the East Coast at 52 feet, Charleston can accommodate the largest vessels, ensuring your goods are shipped with fewer delays and lower costs. This deep-water access, combined with Charleston’s strategic position along major Atlantic shipping routes, makes it an ideal gateway for exports to Europe and Africa. For imported cargo via Charleston, 75% of all rail moves at Class 1 railhead within 24 hours from the number one ranked state for US manufacturing expansion.
Advanced Infrastructure and Efficiency
South Carolina Ports recently implemented creative operational solutions to decrease wait times and streamline processes. These measures include temporarily pausing construction projects to free up berths and implementing flexible berthing schedules. As a result, ships are worked faster, and vessel delays are minimized, ensuring cargo moves swiftly through the supply chain. With an average truck turn time of 40 minutes and up to 34 moves per hour, the Port of Charleston can keep your cargo moving.
Cost-Effective Warehousing and Distribution
Argents Express offers state-of-the-art warehousing facilities equipped with cutting-edge technology for inventory management. Our bonded warehousing options allow for deferred duty payments, enhancing cash flow and reducing immediate financial burdens. Our adaptable Warehouse Management System (WMS) provides real-time data on stock levels and movements, ensuring maximum visibility and control over your inventory.
Strategic Business Environment and Location
Charleston’s business environment is highly conducive to growth, with Free Trade Zone (FTZ) benefits, including duty deferrals, reductions, and eliminations. South Carolina was 2023’s top state for manufacturing. Offering various tax incentives, including up to $100 per 1TEU credit for new businesses, further enhances the cost-effectiveness of operating within the state.
Economic incentives, combined with Charleston’s strategic location, provide many reasons to utilize the Port of Charleston’s access to major southeastern U.S. markets, enabling efficient distribution of goods. With direct carrier services to/from 70+ global ports, 10 direct weekly Asia services, and 5 to/from Europe, Charleston also provides first-ins from Asia & Northern Europe
