Southport-Fort Fisher ferry suspends service for pylon repairs

SOUTHPORT, NC (WWAY) — Southport-Fort Fisher ferry will suspend services next week for plyon repairs.

The N.C. Ferry System’s Southport-Fort Fisher route will be suspending service from Thursday, October 5 through Monday, October 9, in order to replace the pylon clusters at the Fort Fisher Terminal.

The pylons act as nautical “fenders” as ferries arrive and depart and are a critical safety feature of the terminal.

The route will resume its regular schedule on Tuesday, October 10.
