How can I make sure my company is listed in the Port Directory?
Listings in the Directory are free to any business with an office in South Carolina and operating in one of the established categories of service. A listing consists of your company name and telephone number published in Section 1 under the categories of service you provide. Your complete information set, including company name, address, telephone number, fax number, and web/e-mail address, will be provided alphabetically in Section 2.
The primary data collection period for the Directory is in the fall, usually November and early December. This is when listing confirmation forms are mailed to company contacts asking them to confirm their information to be printed and offering an opportunity to buy advertisements. It is critical that these forms be returned promptly. The Directory is an important document and we want the information to be as correct as possible. Of course, so do those listed and their customers. For that reason, we require written confirmation of the accuracy of information in each listing once a year. This information is used to update the printed version and the web version.
You may, however, request a listing at any time. If you make a request by telephone or e-mail, you will receive a written confirmation request from Port Directory staff. A staff member will contact you to verify the information.
