A port project in North Carolina illustrates the increasing investment in “infrastructure & raw materials” in supply chains. Silvi Cement announces the construction of a new import terminal at the port of Morehead City, with a strong ambition: to massively increase cement-related capacity, thanks to modern equipment and a more streamlined flow organization.
The future site must integrate two large-capacity storage domes, continuous truck loading, and direct rail loading capacity. The challenge goes beyond simple storage: it involves improving supply reliability for the American Southeast market, absorbing volumes far greater than the existing ones, and making the operation cleaner and more efficient thanks to a more “confined” and better-controlled system.
The project is presented as a lever for local economic development, with job creation and strengthening the port’s logistical attractiveness. Announced opening: 2027. In the background, it’s the same logic that we observe in many countries: secure essential materials, limit disruptions, and build hubs capable of supporting sustained regional growth.
