Biggest. Deepest. Newest. Best.

At The Port of Virginia, we’re determined to set ourselves apart. Our Suez-class cranes can handle ships loaded 26 containers across—in fact, they can handle ships larger than any currently built. Our obstruction-free channels are 50 feet deep, making them the deepest channels available on the East Coast. Our renovation of Norfolk International Terminals has included new cranes, new straddle carriers, and a new wharf almost a mile long. Our commitment to the environment has led to new methods for operating our facilities, with the hope that one day we’ll be the greenest port in the country.

Come discover more reasons why The Port of Virginia is the superior choice.
