WILMINGTON -- The N.C. State Ports Authority earned $5.1 million in the year ended June 30, up from $394,000 the year before. It had posted multimillion-dollar losses the previous three fiscal years. Last year's increase was driven by drought throughout the Midwest, causing a surge of feed grain imported through Port of Wilmington. The ports also moved more break-bulk traffic in metals and forest products.
