North Carolina Ports Strategy 2026-2031
The North Carolina Ports 2031 Strategy aims to establish NC Ports as the Southeast's most trusted, preferred, efficient, and customer-centric gateway by providing seamless, diversified total cost-advantage solutions and bolstering North Carolina's economy. The plan is built upon four strategic focus areas: winning North Carolina trade, becoming the cold gateway of the Mid-Atlantic, driving integrated bulk solutions, and seizing breakbulk opportunities. These areas are supported by strategic enablers focusing on enterprise performance management, customer-focused digital platforms, market value creation, and efficient and sustainable operations. The strategy targets significant growth in container and general cargo volumes, along with substantial economic contributions and external investments by 2031.
