Hatteras-Ocracoke ferry operations suspended Thursday evening due to deteriorating weather conditions
The Hatteras-Ocracoke ferry operations have been suspended due to deteriorating weather conditions as of Thursday at 7:15 p.m., per an update from the North Carolina Department of Transportation’s Ferry Division.
Ferry service will resume once weather conditions improve, however, N.C. Highway 12 on northern Ocracoke Island may be affected by oceanside flooding, as a coastal storm continues to impact the Outer Banks through Friday.
Ocean overwash on the highway is most likely around high tide, and the next high tide cycles will be at approximately 11:00 p.m. on Thursday, and 11:15 a.m. on Friday.
To get notified of ferry delays or cancellations, sign up for text and email alerts via the N.C. Ferry System’s new-in-2023 FINS system: www.ncdot.gov/fins. Users will get notified of any schedule changes directly from the terminal, and can unsubscribe at any time.
