North Carolina Port’s container terminal at the Port of Wilmington is ranked as the fourth most productive port in North America by World Bank Group and S&P Global Market Intelligence Container Port Performance Index for 2021. The report also ranks NC Ports as the 49th most productive port in the world.
The CPPI rankings are part of the second annual measurement of global port efficiency. Ratings are based on the time vessels spent in port to complete workloads over the course of 2021.
“2021 was a year that brought unprecedented disruption to the global supply chain and highlighted the essential role that ports play in ensuring that goods are supplied in a timely manner,” said Brian Clark, Executive Director, North Carolina State Ports Authority. “Throughout the entirety of the pandemic, North Carolina Ports employees and all port stakeholders worked tirelessly and remained committed to keeping critical supplies and cargo moving.”
Over the past five years NC Ports has invested over $256 million in infrastructure improvement projects. These enhancements allow N.C. Ports to maintain top tier landside and waterside efficiencies and better meet the needs of an increasing customer base.
