One the same day that news breaks of BMW starting up Mid East exports of their SC manufactured vehicles, we also learn that Darley America, the U.S. arm of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum’s Thoroughbred racing empire, has expanded its presence in Aiken, SC with the purchase of 360 acres in Montmorenci.
“The service is expected to load more than 5,000 vehicles annually that Hoegh previously moved across a competing South Atlantic port.”
– Jim Newsome, SPA Pres. & CEO
Of course it’s merely coincidental, but the important thing here to remember is that both bits of information could prove financially advantageous to S.C. in a big way going forward.
If we can get two ports of call a month from Hoegh – like they are currently doing with other cities to the Mid East – it will mean truck drivers moving our manufactured goods down highways throughout the state on our fuel – helping to improve our local economy a little more each day.
