Upon completion of our NIT North optimization project, Port of Virginia container terminals will leverage a total of 152 semi-automated rail-mounted gantry cranes and standardized technology and operations. This investment will deliver the most advanced port complex in North America, with an impressive 5.1 million TEU capacity.

Customers can track their cargo’s journey through a single gateway operating system, which provides a uniform technology platform across the entire port.

Our container terminals provide on-dock access to Class I double-stack rail service with Norfolk Southern and CSX, delivering second-day service to the Midwest and Ohio Valley markets, as well as direct access to the interstate highway system.

The Port of Virginia owns and operates Hampton Roads Chassis Pool which ensures you have reliable access to quality chassis. Our additions to the chassis fleet will reduce the average asset age to an industry-best 3.5 years. And, we have specialized equipment including triaxles and under-mount genset chassis, to support shippers moving heavy and refrigerated/frozen cargoes.

Our geographic proximity to consumer markets, deep-water harbor and semi-automation provides a level of productivity that is attractive to ocean carriers, making The Port of Virginia a crucial node in their network designs. As a result, we offer global supply chain services covering all critical import and export lanes and service options via every major ocean carrier.

Our channel deepening and widening initiative will allow for two-way traffic of ultra large cargo vessels (ULCVs), resulting in increased vessel utilization and berth efficiency. Our PRO-PASS tracking system, dedicated ocean carrier team and chassis pool assets provide for seamless cargo movement between vessel and destination.

We offer on-dock rail service to/from 11 key markets along the East Coast and the Midwest via CSX and Norfolk Southern. We offer 47-hour double-stack service to Chicago and 36-hour double-stack service to Columbus, OH. Providing customers multiple options to flex with their supply chain is one of the ways our experts can add value and help you extend your reach into the markets you need.

As a gateway utilizing The Virginia Model, we control and manage all of the systems and operational technology. We share this data with our customers for both supply chain management and day-to-day operational transparency.

Our Web API platform gives customers the ability to integrate data and events into their supply chain visibility and Transportation Management Systems (TMS). We also offer traditional EDI services for events and data, and a variety of transport mechanisms to support the most common ways of sharing data.

The PRO-PASS Reservation System, provides a single platform for truckers to use for pick-up and drop-off reservations, regardless of which marine or inland terminal they are servicing thus reducing trucker turn-time, trouble cases and port congestion.

The Port of Virginia has attracted a network of warehousing capabilities to meet the needs of every supply chain. Our team can match you with the right capacity and capabilities to meet your needs, including transload, fulfillment, distribution, E-Commerce, bonded, liquid, organic, food products, haz mat, household goods, refrigerated cargos and foreign-trade zones.

We continually invest ahead of the needs of reefer customers. Investments in each of our three marine terminals ensure that there is space and plugs irrespective of which terminal(s) service your cargo.

In addition to our own cold-chain solutions, we work with US agencies to develop import and export cold treatment programs to streamline supply chains of reefer cargos to help our customers optimize transportation costs, lengthen shelf-lives of perishables and allow goods to get to market faster.

Our gateway extends well past the berths of our container terminals, extending the reach of the port to ever-expanding inland markets.

The Virginia Inland Port (VIP) is an intermodal container transfer facility in Front Royal, Virginia. Owned and operated by The Port of Virginia, it is located approximately 60 miles west of Washington, DC. The terminal brings The Port of Virginia and your cargo 220 miles closer to inland markets.

Our barge service provides another means of moving cargo to and from the Mid-Atlantic region. With reefer capability and no restrictions on weight, OOG cargo and the ability to handle hazardous cargo, our barge service is a great fit for a variety of cargo.
