 From the last couple graphs of the Reuters piece:

"That stipulated a ship to be chartered for 42 days capable of 
carrying 989 standard 20-foot containers from Sunny Point, North 
Carolina to Ashdod."

Here's some info on the site:

Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point [MOTSU]
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/sunny-point.htm

"The Sunny Point facility is operated by the 597th Transportation 
Group, on a 16,000-acre, Army-owned site. The facility, opened in 
1955, is the key ammunition shipping point on the Atlantic Coast for 
the Department of Defense. The huge Sunny Point installation, located 
along N.C. Highway 133, was built with a large undeveloped buffer 
zone and huge sand berms for safety."

Solidarity,
Shawn
