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.
