Although the storm was downgraded upon landfall, it dropped heavy rains across some parts of the Carolina's. While most ports and offices will be back to normal operating hours as of Monday, September 17, flooding in some areas may impact cargo deliveries.

Stay safe and contact your local Expeditors office for more information.

Ports

PORT OF VIRGINIA

Open with normal business hours. Expect minor delays from last week's storm-related closure.

PORT OF WILMINGTON

Closed through Wednesday, September 19


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.
