Behind the UN/LOCODE US BFT sits not a freight terminal but a recreational waterfront: Beaufort, South Carolina, on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway between Charleston and Savannah. Its downtown marina handles pleasure craft, fuel and provisioning rather than containers, bulk or RoRo cargo, so commercial shipments never clear here. The deepwater Port Royal Sound nearby is impressive on paper, yet scheduled liner and bulk traffic uses the Port of Charleston (about 80 km northeast) and the Port of Savannah instead. For forwarders, Beaufort is best treated as a place name, with Charleston or Savannah as the working ports.
