Special Project Cargo


The Port of Wilmington's strategic location at the heart of the U.S. East Coast, with excellent rail and road connections, makes it an ideal port and distribution hub for special project cargo. The Port is comprised 308-acres, with close to 4,000-foot marginal wharf and 38-foot MLW water depth.  Ample berth space and 24/7 work ability allow maximum flexibility for special project cargo shippers and carriers.

The Port's modern cranes have a maximum lift capacity of 100 tons per lift, which is helpful for loading and unloading of special project cargo.

In the past few years, the Port has handled many special project cargoes including parts for power generating plants, wind turbine blades, large generators, construction equipment, and ship building materials.
