To All of Our Customers, Stakeholders and Partners:
The Port of Virginia is closely following the ongoing labor issue involving the nation’s freight railroads, two of which serve our port. If there is an impasse and a labor stoppage occurs, this port is well-prepared to handle any disruption, be it short- or long-term. We do have some capacity on terminal to keep this cargo during the short-term and a 20-acre lot where that could be used as a long-term storage solution. The goal of our planning is to maintain fluidity at the terminals and we have the necessary resources in place to ensure this.
We are in regular communication with both railroads to collaborate and forecast volume impacts. If necessary, we will communicate our next steps with you, or you can check our operational alerts that are posted on the www.portofvirginia.com homepage.
Thank you for your business.
