North Carolina Ports

About North Carolina Ports

ONE STATE. TWO PORTS. EXTENSIVE CAPABILITIES. North Carolina Ports offers two excellent port locations, Wilmington and Morehead City, both with unique benefits. The Port of Wilmington has four post-Panamax container cranes. The Port of Morehead City is just four miles from the Atlantic Ocean. Both offer extensive warehousing and open storage. And both provide easy access to interstate highways and major railroads. Our customer-focused approach also means shippers receive excellent port communication and customized service. Customers experience the fastest turn times on the United States East Coast. And our expanding storage capabilities, including Wilmington’s 101,000-square-foot, on-terminal cold storage facility, can accommodate more customers than ever. OUR MISSION The mission of the North Carolina State Ports Authority is to enhance the economy of the State of North Carolina. The Ports Authority will be managed like a business focused on the requirements of our customers. North Carolina’s Ports will be recognized for our self-sustaining operations, environmental stewardship, highly efficient workforce, satisfied customers, and modern, well-maintained facilities and equipment.
