Despite Hurricane Florence stopping operations for more than a week and causing millions in damage, the Port of Wilmington is continuing on another record pace for container traffic, port officials said. “All in all, the calendar year and the end of our fiscal year from last year turned out to be very positive,” said Brian Clark, the port’s chief operating officer. The N.C. State Ports Authority handled 350,000 twenty-foot equivalent (TEU) containers during its 2017-18 fiscal year, shattering a previous record of slightly more than 300,000 TEUs, according to numbers provided by port officials.
