Listen to this articleThe S.C. Ports Authority board approved salaries for senior management last week during the board’s October meeting.
Senior management received a bump across the board, including bonuses, which are based on hitting targets for cargo volumes and operating cash flow.
Pay increases go into effect Jan. 1.
The board also approved the promotion of Barbara Melvin, senior vice president of operations and terminals, to COO, a new position for the port.
