The port is expected to become functional this fall, and is situated close to Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport and BMW, both of which are in Greer.  

The port will allow companies like BMW to more efficiently ship goods directly by rail to and from the Port of Charleston, not to mention eliminate more than 50,000 truck trips annually along the Interstate 26 corridor between Charleston and Greenville-Spartanburg.
