About Wilmington
Wilmington is a smaller North Carolina gateway on the Cape Fear River, serving the state's manufacturing and agricultural cargo without the road leg from Charleston or Norfolk. Its scale means fewer direct deep-sea services and more feeder connections. Vessel size is limited by the river channel.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Wilmington — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 13–19 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider United States lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
