He already flushed his source down the toilet this morning.

Good riddance to the shitty flag though. In a year or two the only people who will even remember that piece of trash flying on the state house grounds are butthurt redneck trolls like him.

The additional port is not needed, there is excess capacity already on the east coast.
Savannah could not increase capacity unless there was idle capacity. Bottom line shut up about building a unneeded port. A new private port paying taxes could not compete against Savannah or Charleston. Just drop the silly narrative, nobody is drinking the Jim Jones Kool Aid.

“They will continue to grow,” a shipping source told us.  “They are now very close to being three times bigger than SCSPA.”
———————————————-
Last time I checked 4 million is only twice as big as 2 million.

Fits and “shipping source” are not very good at math. Since 400,000 growth is not three times greater than 231,473, not even twice as large, Savannah could never be three times larger if current growth continued at those flat amounts.

Even if growth continued at the same percentage rates, Savannah would never ship triple the volume of Charleston. In fact Charleston would eventually over take Savannah.
400,000 growth/(4 million – 400,000) = 11% growth for Savannah.
Charleston has 231,473/(2 million – 231,473) = 13% growth.
