Hurricane Protection Plan activated

The North Carolina State Ports Authority continues to monitor Hurricane Florence. The Port of Wilmington and the Port of Morehead City are currently at Condition Whiskey. The status at both Ports will be upgraded to Condition X-Ray at 0600 Tuesday [11 September], Condition Yankee at 0600 Wednesday [12 September], and Condition Zulu at 1800 Wednesday [13 September].

NC State Ports Authority has activated its Hurricane Preparation Plan and is taking all necessary steps to protect cargo, facilities and equipment. Based on anticipated winds and the potential for heavy rains and storm surge, empty container stacks are being block stowed, loaded containers are being relocated within the Port, generator power is being prepared for refrigerated cargo and warehouses and transit sheds are being secured…

The Port of Wilmington's General Cargo gate and The Port of Morehead City's gate continues to operate under normal hours.

Based on the latest information from USCG stakeholder calls, NCSPA anticipates Port closures at some point on Wednesday, September 12. Once a final determination is made, this will be communicated.
