The Port of Virginia (POV) is a leading maritime gateway to global markets. Virginia is the nation’s fifth largest container port and the leading rail port on the East Coast. As an arm of the Commonwealth of Virginia, the port operates six separate and distinct terminals in Front Royal, Richmond, and on the Norfolk Harbor, including two terminals dedicated to breakbulk, ro-ro, and heavy-lift cargo. Virginia is one of the 17 strategic national ports, offering two individual terminals in support of the SDDC Mission. Our 50-foot deep channels currently being dredged to a congressionally authorized 55-foot depth, direct rail and highway access, and robust network of on and off-terminal warehousing add velocity and efficiency to your supply chain.
In 2017, POV embarked on a $720 million expansion and optimization project, running concurrently at our two largest container terminals: Virginia International Gateway (VIG) and Norfolk International Terminals (NIT). These two facilities are among only five semi-automated container terminals in the US, where remote-operated rail-mounted gantry (RMG) cranes autonomously move containers across the terminal, allowing labor to be safely distanced from machinery. The increased efficiency and additional capacity created by this technology allows us to handle a diverse mix of SDDC cargo with more velocity across all of our facilities.
