Hurricane Florence has had a major impact on North Carolina and specifically both the Port of Wilmington and the Port of Morehead City. We are assessing the situation at both locations and when safe to return, we will determine the condition of the facilities.

Initial assessments indicate there is damage at both locations to warehouse and other structures, as well as a significant number of downed empty containers to be cleared. A detailed assessment of all cranes, which appear undamaged, will be conducted.

We are working with local, state and federal officials to determine when it is safe to resume landside operations. We will remain CLOSED through Wednesday, September 19 and will provide a further update at that time.
