The Port of Virginia

Published April 29, 2021 by Kate Andrews

By 2024, the Port of Virginia expects to be the deepest port on the East Coast at 55 feet, with room for two-way traffic for some of the world’s largest vessels. The port has six terminals and has invested more than $1 billion in infrastructure since 2015, producing 390,000 port-related jobs across the state, $23 billion in annual compensation and $2.1 billion in state and local taxes, according to a William & Mary study. Beyond the Hampton Roads region, the port stretches to Richmond and Front Royal, where its inland ports connect with major rail and trucking markets.
