It supersedes a similar report revised in 1971. The reports in the Port Series cover the principal United States coastal and Great Lakes ports, and are compiled and published by the Port Facilities Branch, Water Resources Sup- port Center, Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, Kingman Building, Fort Belvoir, Virginia 22060, under authority of Section 7 of the River and Harbor Act of July 19, 1918, Section 500 of the Transportation Act of February 28, 1920, and Section 8 of the Merchant Marine Act of June 5, 1920. Acknowledgment is made of the valuable assistance given by the District Engineer, U.S. Army Engineer District, Wilmington, North Carolina; facility operators; port organiza- tions; shipping and transportation companies; state and city officials; and other individuals in the compilation of data for this report. Unless otherwise stated, the information contained in this report was current upon completion of field survey in May, 1980. VI METRIC CONVERSION TABLE Section 3 of Public Law 94-163, the Metric Conversion Act of 1975, declares that the policy of the United States shall be to coordinate and plan the increasing use of the metric system in the United States. As an initial step, in accordance with the Metric Conver- sion Act of 1975, this Metric Conversion Table is included in this Port Series Report.

The port's principal waterfront facilities are along the city's waterfront on the east banks of the Cape Fear and Northeast Cape Fear Rivers; the junction of the two rivers is at Wil- mington, about 28 statute miles above the mouth of the Cape Fear River. The mouth of the Cape Fear River is about five miles west of Cape Fear, between Smiths Island on the east and Oak Island on the west. The deepwater approach from the Atlantic Ocean to the port is via a dredged channel across the bar and upstream to Wilmington. Upstream from the junction of the rivers, the Cape Fear River curves in a northwesterly direc- tion about 115 miles to Fayette ville , NC; and the Northeast Cape Fear River extends in an almost due north direction for 103 miles to Kornegays Bridge. The Brunswick River branches off the Cape Fear River at Navassa' about four miles above the city, flows southeasterly for approximately five miles, and rejoins the parent stream below Wilmington. Smiths Creek enters the Northeast Cape Fear River from the east at the northern boundary of the city. The lower reaches of the Cape Fear River form a part of the route of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The section of the waterway extending southwestward from Beaufort, NC, enters the Cape Fear River through Snows Cut near Mile 14 and joins the main ship channel near Mile 12. From the river en- trance of Snows Cut, a channel 12 feet deep and 100 feet wide extends northwestward to the main ship channel near Mile 16. Three miles above the mouth of the river, at Southport, the waterway leaves the main ship channel on its southerly route to Georgetown, SC, on Winyah Bay. THE PORT OF WILMINGTON, NC HARBOR AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS BY THE UNITED STATES Wilmington Harbor The existing project, authorized by the River and Harbor Acts of July 3, 1930, March 2, 1945, May 17, 1950, October 23, 1962, and March 10, 1964 under Section 107 of the River and Harbor Act of 1960, provides for: A channel 40 feet deep and 500 feet wide from the Atlantic Ocean through the ocean bar and entrance channels to Southport; thence 38 feet deep and 400 feet wide to upper end of anchorage basin (foot of Castle Street) at Wilmington; thence 32 feet deep and 400 feet wide to Hilton Bridge over Northeast Cape Fear River, with increased widths at bends; an anchorage basin at Wilmington, 38 feet deep, 2,000 feet long, and 900 feet wide at the upper end, 1,100 feet wide at the lower end, with ap- proaches 1,500 feet long at the upper end and 4,500 feet long at the lower end, with some widening of the transition channel at the down- stream end; a turning basin opposite the prin- cipal terminals at Wilmington, 32 feet deep, 1,000 feet long, and 800 feet wide with suit- able approaches at each end; a channel 12 feet deep and 100 feet wide extending northwestward from the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway at Snows Cut to the main river channel; and a channel 25 feet deep and 200 feet wide from Hilton Bridge to a point 1.66 miles above, including a turning basin, 25 feet deep, 700 feet wide, and 500 feet long, at a point 1.25 miles above the bridge. The channel controlling depths and project dimensions are given in the table on page 7. Cape Fear River above Wilm ington The existing project, authorized by the River and Har- bor Acts of June 25, 1910, June 26, 1934, August 30, 1935, August 26, 1937, October 27, 1965, and Section 4, Flood Con- trol Act of 1944, provides for: PORT AND HARBOR CONDITIONS A channel 25 feet deep and 200 feet wide from Wilmington to a turning basin 400 feet wide and 550 feet long at Navassa, a distance of 2.9 miles; thence a channel 12 feet deep and 140 feet wide from Navassa to mileboard 30 at Acme, with 5 chan- nel cutoffs 12 feet deep and 150 feet wide to eliminate sharp bends; thence a channel 8 feet deep from mileboard 30 to Fayetteville by con- structing 3 locks and dams and by dredging river shoals; and recreational facilities at the locks and dams . Total length of the project channels is 113.9 miles. Details of the 3 locks are given in the following tabu- lation. * DISTANCE ABOVE WIL- CHAMBER LOCK AND DAM LOCATION MINGTON DIMENSIONS LIFT (MILES ) (FEET) (FEET) 1 Kings Bluff 39 200 by 40 11 2 Browns Landing 71 200 by 40 9 Wm. 0. Huske Tolars Landing 95 300 by 40 9 As of January 1975 through August 1976, the controlling depths were: 11 feet for a middle width of 160 feet from Wilmington to Navassa Turning Basin; 11 feet in the turning basin; thence 9 feet to Mileboard 30 at Acme; thence 6 feet to Fayetteville. Northeast Cape Fear River Authorized by the River and Harbor Act of September 19, 1950, the existing project for improvement of the Northeast Cape Fear River beyond Wilmington provides for clearing the natural channel for small steamers to Hallsville and for pole boats to Kornegays Bridge above the mouth of the river. a distance of 103 miles THE PORT OF WILMINGTON, NC As of April 1975, the controlling depth was 5 feet from above the Upper Turning Basin to Crooms Bridge at Mile 56. Smiths Creek > Smiths Creek enters the Northeast Cape Fear River approximately 0.34 mile above the Hilton Bridge. In accord- ance with the River and Harbor Act of August 30, 1935, a channel 12 feet deep at mean low water and 100 feet wide was dredged through the bar at the mouth; work was completed in 1937. As of July 1972, the controlling depth was 8 feet at mean low water. The mean tidal range is 3.4 feet. TIDAL RANGE AND CURRENTS The mean range of tide at the entrance is 4.5 feet, at Southport 4.1 feet, and at Wilmington 4.2 feet. The tidal currents on the bar run with considerable velocity averaging 2.2 knots on the flood and 2.9 knots on the ebb. Opposite Southport the flood can exceed 3.0 knots and the ebb reach 4 knots; and in Wilmington the flood averages 1.7 knots and the ebb 1.5 knots. ANCHORAGES The anchorage basin at Wilmington is 2,000 feet long, 900 feet wide at the upper end, 1,100 feet wide at the lower end, with approaches 1,500 feet long at the upper end and 4,500 feet long at the lower end, with some widening of the transition channel at the downstream end. Good anchorage is available in the Cape Fear River abreast the town of Southport. The holding ground is good, but, because of strong tidal currents, vessels should anchor with a good scope of chain. This anchorage is sometimes used as a harbor of refuge in the winter by coasting vessels R estricted Are a The restricted area at Sunny Point Army Terminal, Brunswick County, NC, includes that portion of Cape Fear PORT AND HARBOR CONDITIONS River due west of the main ship channel extending from U.S. Coast Guard Buoy No. 31A at the Terminal's north approach channel to U.S. Coast Guard Buoy No. 23A at the Terminal's south approach channel. BRIDGES Within the port area, three bridges cross the Cape Fear River, two cross the Northeast Cape Fear River, and two cross Smiths Creek. Details of these bridges are given in the table on page 8. WEATHER CONDITIONS The maritime location makes the climate of Wilmington unusually mild for its latitude. Summers are quite warm and humid, but excessive heat is rare. Seabreezes in the early afternoon tend to alleviate the heat. Long-term averages show afternoon temperatures reaching 90 degrees or higher a third of the days in midsummer, but several years may pass without 100 -degree weather. Most winters are short and quite mild with a recorded low temperature of five degrees . Rarely is there an entire day when the temperature fails to rise above the freezing point. Rainfall is usually ample and well-distributed through- out the year. The greatest amount falls during the summer in the form of thunder showers , which occur about one out of three days from June through August. During the winter, rain is generally of the slow and steady type lasting from one to two days. Hail occurs less than once a year. Several years may pass without any measureable amount of snow, and an appreciable accumulation on the ground is rare. In common with most Atlantic Coastal localities, the area is subject to the effects of coastal storms and occa- sional hurricanes, which produce high winds, above normal tides, and heavy rains.

PORT AND HARBOR FACILITIES 29 OIL HANDLING AND BUNKERING Eleven of the waterfront facilities described in this report are equipped to receive and/or ship petroleum products, petrochemicals, and asphalt. Two of the facilities provide bunkering services to vessels; one oil company can bunker tankers while berthed at its facility; and three facilities are equipped to fuel towboats and other types of small vessels . Large oceangoing vessels are usually bunkered at berth by tank barges based at the port. These barges, together with their capacities and sizes, are listed separately in the table of Floating Equipment on page 42. The tabulation on page 32 gives information on the facil- ities equipped to handle petroleum products; details are given in the table of Piers, Wharves, and Docks, beginning on page 14 under the reference numbers indicated. Tank storage at recreational craft service stations is not included. OPEN STORAGE In addition to the long- and short-term, covered storage facilities for waterborne cargo, the North Carolina State Ports Authority has 30.8 acres of open storage area available to the public for storing commodities not requiring protection from the weather, and additional storage for 1,500 containers on chassis on and in rear of the North Carolina State Ports Authority general cargo wharves (P.W.D. Ref. Nos . 7, 8, and 9) . A tabulation of these storage areas is provided in the Summary of General Cargo Facilities on page 13. Other operators with waterfront facilities at the port of Wilmington have open storage areas to meet their own opera- tional requirements; these areas usually are not available for public use. WAREHOUSES In the port area, 5 companies and the North Carolina State Ports Authority operate warehouses having a total of 1,212,300 square feet of dry storage space and 250,000 cubic feet of cold storage space. Of this total, 569,900 square 30 THE PORT OF WILMINGTON, NC feet of space is provided by the North Carolina State Ports Authority at its general cargo terminal. A fumigation plant with 2 vacuum chambers is adjacent to the Ports Authority's Warehouse No. 3 (S.W. Ref. No. 8). Two of the 5 companies operate 9 warehouse buildings for storing bulk fertilizer materials; the buildings have a total storage capacity for 182,000 tons. All but 2 of the warehouses have railroad connections, and each is accessible to arterial highways. Diversified handling equipment is maintained by the operators , and special services are provided, including packing and crating, forwarding, pool car distribution, carloading, weighing, bagging, fumigation, stamping, and marking. The summary on page 33 lists the operators and gives the storage capacity of the dry and cold storage facilities, which are more fully described under individual reference numbers in the table of Storage Warehouses beginning on page 34. The reference numbers identify warehouse locations on the Port Facilities Map. HOISTING EQUIPMENT - ASHORE AND AFLOAT General cargo usually is handled to and from vessels by ships' tackle. However, shore-based hoisting facilities are available to the public for making heavy lifts up to 225 tons. These facilities are owned and operated by the North Carolina State Ports Authority and are located on its general cargo wharves . No floating cranes or derricks for making heavy lifts at shipside are based at the port. The following tabulation gives details of the hoisting equipment ashore available for hire at the wharves of the North Carolina State Ports Authority. Cranes, derricks, and special-handling equipment at other waterfront facilities within the port area, usually for the sole use of the opera- ting companies , are described under "Mechanical Handling Facilities" in the preceding table of Piers, Wharves, and PORT AND HARBOR FACILITIES 31 Berths 1 through 8 and Berths A and B, P.W.D. Ref. Nos . 7 8, and 9 One, diesel-electric, traveling, full-portal, gantry crane, lift capacity 225 tons at 45 -foot radius, and 157 tons at 60-foot radius. One, diesel-electric, traveling, full-portal, gantry crane with a lift capacity of 115 tons at 45 -foot radius, and 45 tons at 100 -foot radius . Two, diesel-electric, traveling, full-portal, gantry cranes, each with 85-foot boom and lift capacity of 45 tons at 40 -foot radius and 27 tons at 60 -foot radius. The cranes have a com- bined lift capacity of 90 tons at 40-foot radius when coupled with an equalizer. Two, 40-ton, diesel-electric, traveling, container- handling cranes, each with hinged-cantilevered boom having 115-foot outreach, 63-foot back reach, and 210 -foot container travel length. One 140 -ton, diesel, mobile crane with boom length to 270 feet. MARINE REPAIR PLANTS Three plants operate waterfront facilities at the port for the repair and conversion of tugs, towboats , fishing boats, barges, and other types of small vessels. In addition, 3 companies without waterfront facilities are engaged in various types of marine repair work. All maintain repair shops and portable equipment for making above -water line repairs and for installing equipment, gear, and machinery on all types of vessels at berth in the harbor. Two of the plants with waterfront facilities operate haul-out or dry- docking facilities, which are described in the following section, "Drydocks , Marine Railways, and Vertical Boat Lift."

The port is 154 nautical miles northeast of Wilmington, NC and 249 nautical miles south of Norfolk, Virginia. The deepwater approach from the Atlantic Ocean to the port is via a dredged channel across the bar and through Beaufort Inlet between Bogue and Shackleford Banks. The channel extends to a Y-shaped turning basin located between the east end of the peninsula and Radio Island at the mouth of the Newport River. Beaufort Inlet, about mid- way between Cape Hatteras and Cape Fear, is approximately 1.5 miles wide. Bogue Sound is a shallow body of water extending 22 miles westward along the coast from Beaufort Inlet to Bogue Inlet. It is separated from the ocean by Bogue Banks, a wooded beach o l to 0.7 mile wide. The sound is about 2 miles wide midway of its length and nar- row at each end; there are numerous marshy islets at the western end. The route of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway passes through Morehead City harbor. One section of the waterway runs southward through the lower part of the Newport River to the turning basin, and another leads westward from the turning basin through Bogue Sound. Waterfront facilities for deep-draft vessels are in the eastern part of the harbor facing the turning basin; facilities for fishing boats, recreational craft, and other types of small vessels are along Bogue Sound and Calico Creek. The principal waterborne commodities handled at the port are petroleum products, tobacco, and phosphate materials . 46 THE PORT OF MOREHEAD CITY, NC HARBOR AND CHANNEL IMPROVEMENTS BY THE UNITED STATES The existing project, authorized by the River and Har- bor Acts of June 25, 1910, July 3, 1930, August 26, 1937, July 3, 1958, and December 31, 1970, provides for: A channel 42 feet deep and 450 feet wide from deep water in the Atlantic Ocean through the ocean bar at Beaufort Inlet, thence a cutoff channel 40 feet deep and 600 feet wide, thence an inner harbor channel 40 feet deep and 400 feet wide; A turning basin off the North Carolina State Ports Authority Terminal with 40 feet in the turning basin's east leg, including a 1,200-foot diameter turning area, and 35 feet in the west leg of the turning basin; A channel 12 feet deep and 100 feet wide from the turning basin to Sixth Street, More- head City, thence 12 feet deep, 200 to 400 feet wide to Tenth Street; thence 6 feet deep and 75 feet wide to Bogue Sound. The project is complete except for construction of the jetties. The channel controlling depths and project dimensions are given in the table on page 49. TIDAL RANGE AND CURRENTS Tides : The mean range of tide at Morehead City is 2.9 feet, Currents : Tidal currents along Beaufort Inlet Channel attain velocities of 2 to 3 knots. They usually set along the channels, but, at the entrance to Morehead City Channel, they usually set across the channel near the end of the flood period and beginning of the next ebb. PORT AND HARBOR CONDITIONS 47 Heavy swells build up in Beaufort Inlet Channel with northerly or southerly winds, making boating hazardous and entry or departure of ships difficult during unfavorable tidal conditions o Tidal conditions are hazardous near and under the causeway north of the State Ports Authority Ter- minal. It was reported in May 1975, that the current will attain a velocity of 4 to 5 knots off the southwest corner of the State Ports Authority Terminal, and whirlpools will develop off the southeast corner at maximum tides ANCHORAGES No specific areas in Morehead City harbor have been designated as anchorage grounds. Vessels may anchor out- side the Beaufort Inlet from the sea buoy eastward to Cape Lookout where there is good, sand-shell, holding ground. BRIDGES No bridges cross the deep-draft channel from the turn- ing basin to the ocean. Two parallel bridges cross the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway at the mouth of the Newport River above the turning basin and connect Morehead City and Beaufort. The first, a rail trestle owned by the Beaufort and Morehead Railroad Company, has a single-leaf, bascule, channel span with a horizontal clearance of 80 feet and a clear height of 4.0 feet at mean high water in closed posi- tion; the second, state-owned, is a fixed, high-level, highway bridge with a horizontal clearance of 80 feet and a vertical clearance of 65 feet at mean high water. 48 THE PORT OF MOREHEAD CITY, NC WEATHER CONDITIONS During July and August, average daytime temperatures reach the mid 80 ' s and nighttime temperatures fall into the low 70 ' s . Winters are mild with maximum temperatures in the mid 50 ' s and minimums in the upper 30 ' s to low 40 ' s . Rainfall averages about 52 inches annually with more than one-third falling during July, August, and September. The number of days with measurable precipitation averages 4 to 7 per month throughout the year.
