The Port of Virginia is the brand name for the group of facilities and terminals operated by the Virginia Port Authority (VPA), an agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia. As a leading U.S. East Coast port, it boasts deep shipping channels that are wide, obstruction-free, and ice-free year-round, making it a "first-in" and "last-out" port of call for many shipping lines. Its mission is to foster and stimulate the commerce of the Commonwealth and serve as a critical economic engine for Virginia by operating a network of modern terminals that facilitate the import and export of goods to and from global markets.
