With economies of scale, it can only be even more economically viable for the S.C. Ports Authority to put a solar array on one of its warehouses. In addition to the economic viability, the global shipping industry represents 2.5% of greenhouse emissions(International Maritime Organization 2014 study*) Anything that the S.C. Ports Authority can do to mitigate the carbon footprint of the industry is a welcome step, and is in South Carolina's best interest, both environmentally and economically. Perhaps instead of just one solar array on one warehouse, they should be looking at putting solar arrays on all of their warehouses and office buildings. *http://www.imo.org/en/OurWork/Environment/PollutionPrevention/AirPollution/Pages/Greenhouse-Gas-Studies-2014.aspx)
