CHARLESTON (AP) -- The South Carolina State Ports Authority has renewed a memorandum of understanding with the Panama Canal Authority.

The Canal Authority announced Wednesday the three-year agreement means the agencies will work in joint marketing efforts and exchange data and market studies.

The idea is to increase business for both the canal and South Carolina ports.

A number of products including household goods, furniture and machinery are shipped through the canal to and from Charleston.

The agreement extends an understanding first signed in 2003.
