APMT Virginia

On July 6, 2010, the VPA executed a 20-year lease with APM Terminals North America, allowing VPA to assume operations at its facility in Portsmouth, Virginia.  VPA will manage all aspects of the Portsmouth terminal through its private operating company, Virginia International Terminals, Inc. (VIT)

The 576 acre terminal is heralded as the most technologically advanced marine cargo facility in the Americas.  With 4,000 linear feet of berth and 3.3 miles of on-site rail with links to NS and CSX, the highly automated facility boasts a current capacity of 1.4 million TEUs annually, with room for further expansion. 

Directions and other information about this terminal can be found below.
