Moran comes to North Carolina's Ports
Moran Commences Operations in Two North Carolina PortsMoran has added Morehead City and Wilmington, North Carolina to its ports of operation. The company began operations in both ports on November 30, 2007.
The ports will continue to be served by the fleets of Morehead City Towboat Co. and Cape Fear Towing Company, both of which Moran has purchased. The two companies are longtime providers of ship docking and harbor services to Morehead City and Wilmington respectively; both were also Moran vendors until their sale, which was expedited by mutually respectful, well-oiled relationships that each maintained with Moran over the years.
