History

The area around Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point has been used as a strategic shipping and military hub since 1725 when then colonial governor George Burrington operated a plantation and small dock on the Cape Fear River. In the pre-Revolutionary War era the coastal area was used as a strategic point for British troops and merchants and then by Colonial forces. During the Civil War the area served as a Confederate artillery battery protecting the Cape Fear River from Union naval forces. During this time its potential as an ammunition transportation point was realized due to its remote location, deep water, ocean access and predictable tides.

The Military Ocean Terminal at Sunny Point as it exists today was established in 1955 by the Department of The Army. In every armed conflict since its creation the Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point has played a role in supporting deployed units.

This task included everything from small arms ammunition up to 750 pound M117 bombs.

The waterways around Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point are well suited for maritime traffic, but the harbors and ports have required expansion in frequent years to accommodate expanding traffic.

Deep draft dredging was started again in 1998 to accommodate larger berth ships and in a short time of 2.3 million cubic yards of clay, sand and silt were removed from the harbor area.
