North Carolina’s port in Wilmington is strategically located on the U.S. East Coast and is one of the few Southern ports with readily available berths and storage for containers and cargo. The Port of Wilmington features hundreds of plugs for refrigerated containers; is a member of the USDA’s Southeast In-Transit Cold Treatment Pilot program; and is home to an on-terminal cold storage facility – making Wilmington an ideal choice for proteins, vegetables, fruit, fish or other commodities.
