PortCity to introduce transload solution on Port of Wilmington’s box terminal

PortCity will introduce a new transload solution at the Port of Wilmington’s Container Terminal.

This new transload operation will be adjacent to the port’s container berths and neo-panamax cranes.

“By eliminating the off-port dray, this new on-terminal offering will increase efficiency and reduce the overall transportation expense for customers,” said Eric Howell, PortCity CEO. “This expansion with the NC Ports team is a testament to our commitment to the Wilmington market and to the success of our clients.”

PortCity, the operator, has vast industry experience, including steel, pulp and paper, retail and home goods, building materials, heavy equipment, plastics and more. PortCity’s high throughput volume, innovative peel pile programmes and pallet in, pallet out services, combined with NC Ports’ productivity, ensures cargo moves efficiently from port to destination without unnecessary delays, according to a statement.

“With PortCity’s highspeed transload solutions combined with our team’s top-ranked productivity levels, we ensure seamless freight management and swift market entry,” noted Brian E. Clark, executive director of North Carolina State Ports Authority. “We strive to accommodate the needs of our customers, and this unique on-port transload operation will provide an additional innovative supply chain solution for Wilmington port users.”

NC Ports will provide PortCity with the space for the transload operation with additional flex space available.

The PortCity team will use this space while they continue to make progress on the company’s near-port facility. PortCity will be investing US$25 million in a new facility on Raleigh Street less than a mile away from the Port of Wilmington’s container terminal. This facility will add approximately 14,000m² of cross-dock warehouse space to the Wilmington market.
