History
In the mid 1940s Wilmington NC was a major company of shipbuilding. Then, in the early 2000s, Wilmington got four new shipping cranes. In 2015 Wilmington added a new cold storage facility.instead of the deep water port to the north. Authorities decided to keep it on the same side of the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge. In late or in 2018 Zen Hua from the China Sea came with two new neo post Panamax cranes. People watched as the ship came through the lower Cape Fear River (such as from South Port Pier). The Port operates 24/7 and is not opened to the public. The port includes an asphalt facility, soil plant and 6 cranes. The Port is 8.97 miles away from Sunny Point Ocean Terminal and 10 miles away from Kure Beach.
