2022 was a year of celebration and progress for the N.C. Department of Transportation’s Ferry Division, as it marked 75 years of service to Eastern North Carolina.
With 22 ferries and eight regular routes from Knotts Island to Southport, NCDOT’s Ferry Division provides safe, reliable and efficient transportation across the region’s rivers, inlets and sounds.
This year’s notable achievements include the arrival of new passenger and vehicle ferries, a concerted effort to hire and train new employees, and modernization efforts at the Division’s shipyard and other facilities.
