4. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner A New Direction, The 787: Beginning with the initial offer to airlines in late 2003 to purchase the new Dreamliner jets, the 787 aircrafts have been Boeing’s best selling jets to date. Almost 600 of the airplanes were purchased before any had even rolled out of the factory. Boeing’s revolutionary 787 is known in the aviation industry as the “game-changer”. Boeing, both as a company and as an aviation-manufacturing leader, has broken new ground along with the production of the 787. First, the 787 is a revolution on its own, to aviation-manufacturers everywhere because of its state-of-the-art lightweight composite construction. Using lightweight composite metals such as carbon fiber to construct nearly 50% of the plane by weight makes the 787 a new standard on building commercial jets. These new materials make the aircrafts lighter allowing them to use 20% less fuel than that of the normal aircrafts today. The 787 Dreamliner is also changing how passengers view traveling by air. The 787 jets boast comfier seats with more spacious cabins, more cargo space and most importantly, bigger windows. “The 787 not only will revolutionize air travel, it represents a new way of building airplanes,” says Scott Strode, 787 vice president of Airplane Definition & Production. The once isolated Boeing has moved out 70% of the work to build the 787 jets to nearly 50 partners and top-tier suppliers at 135 different sites. This is a very different manufacturing and assembly process for any aviation-manufacturer but is especially different for Boeing. Basically, Boeing will have the different parts of the 787 manufactured in different areas to later be shipped to their Washington headquarters for final assembly and inspection. This complex supply chain is a revolution to industrial airline manufacturers everywhere. The Move to Charleston: After the initial success of the 787 jets, Boeing has announced that they have selected North Charleston as the site for their second 787 manufacturing facility. The Boeing Company has expressed their confidence in their move to the budding and emerging industrial market that is Charleston, South Carolina. Boeing is a company that is known for exquisite jet manufacturing but it will now forever be known for revolutionizing the aviation industry. It is flattering that Boeing, at this time of renovation and ground-breaking decisions chose Charleston, South Carolina as their second home for the manufacturing of the 787 Dreamliner jet. “The 787 may be a ‘game-changer’ for Boeing,” said United States Congressman James Clyburn, “but Boeing, is a ‘game-changer’ for South Carolina.” Charleston is also in the process of bringing many new road improvements, many of which are already complete and drivable, to the area around Boeing’s new manufacturing facility. The new roads will cut travel times between important land parcels, Boeing and the CHS Airport down to mere minutes.

5. The Port of Charleston • Ranked the fourth busiest and seventh largest port in the United States, the Port of Charleston has been a major global center of commerce and trade for over three centuries. Branded as “The Pros of Productivity”, the backbone of the Port of Charleston is its throughput speed and efficiency. More high crane container lifts are done at this port than any other in the Western Hemisphere. The Port of Charleston also hosts a 45-foot deep harbor at low tide and with enough space to handle up to 8,400 TEUs. The Port of Charleston is preparing for the rapid increase in shipping containers that will call on the port after the widening of the Panama canal in 2014. The Port Authority received permits for a new three berth 280-acre terminal at the former Charleston Naval Base. Construction is scheduled to be completed in 2014. With this expansion the Port of Charleston will have a total of six different terminals at its disposal all closer to the open sea than any competing East Coast ports. The Port of Charleston is also one of only a handful of ports to have received the Presidential “E” and “E-Star” awards for excellence in exporting. • Features of The Port of Charleston: • 41 moves per hour per crane compared to the U.S. average • at 25 – 27 moves • Handles nearly 1.2 million TEUs annually • The fastest transit times from open sea to dockside on the • East coast, only 1-2 hours • Deepest and widest channels in the Southeast allowing • ships to spend minimal time in-port • Charleston Customs District ranks as the nation’s sixth • largest in dollar value of international shipments as it • handles cargo valued at more than $55 billion • Trucker turn around time averages only 20 minutes • More than 40 ocean carriers currently offer services in Charleston including all 20 ocean carriers serving U.S. ports • The South Carolina Ports Authority owns and operates 5 terminals in the Charleston area. These terminals collectively handle nearly 1.2 dmillion TEUs annually. • The Port of Charleston is the only port in the Southeast that can efficiently handle post-Panamax vessels up to 8,400 TEUs. • The Port serves more than 150 countries worldwide with 40 steamship lines, including all of the top 20 carriers.

6. The “Great Eastern Migration” The Shift from West Coast ports to East Coast ports NY/NJ Norfolk LA/LB Inland Empire Charleston Savannah Jacksonville The ongoing expansion of the Panama Canal will have a significant impact on the industrial warehouse and logistics footprint currently located around the LA/LB ports and the Inland Empire in Southern California. West Coast ports are expected to see less container volume as cargo traffic is diverted through the expanded Panama Canal in 2014. The Port of Charleston is expected to see significant increases in TEU volume and post-Panamax cargo ship traffic as shippers seek to shorten their supply chains and move away from the West Coast ports and costly cross-country rail movements currently needed to move product to the East. Retailers such as Wal-Mart and Home Depot have built millions of square feet of warehousing along the East Coast in anticipation of the Canal completion. Charleston’s already deep harbor and quick access to the Atlantic deep water shipping lanes will ensure that super ships have proper access, turning radius and throughput while at berth in Charleston. CSX and Norfolk Southern will both provide intermodal rail service and connections to over 30 states through The Port of Charleston. Charleston is already servicing post-Panamax ships, such as the 1,100 foot long MSC Rita, which traverses the Suez Canal route linking Asia with the East Coast. We expect to experience a “Great Eastern Migration” as warehouses, suppliers and third party logistics service providers shift their supply chain footprint from the Western ports to the Eastern ports to handle this increase in container volume.
