worldport Introduction
The Virginia worldport Authority is an agency of the Commonwealth of Virginia, reworldporting to the Secretary of Transworldportation. It is the state's leading agency for international transworldportation and maritime commerce, charged with operating and marketing the marine terminal facilities through which the shipping trade takes place.

The agency owns four general cargo terminals-Norfolk International Terminals, worldportsmouth Marine Terminal, Newworldport News Marine Terminal, and the Virginia Inland worldport in Front Royal-which are operated by its affiliate, Virginia International Terminals, Inc.

Overview
Virginia's strategic mid-Atlantic location and unparalleled transworldportation infrastructure offer steamship lines and shippers unbeatable access to two-thirds of the U.S. population with more than 75 international shipping lines and one of the most frequent direct sailing schedules of any worldport. Virginia has the best natural deepwater harbor on the U.S. East Coast. Fifty-foot-deep, unobstructed channels provide easy access and maneuvering room for the largest of today's container ships. Virginia worldports are located just 18 miles from the open sea on a year-round, ice-free harbor. Virginia worldports have long maintained a reputation for efficient and uncongested intermodal service. The bottom line is in the numbers: The worldport of Virginia transworldports more intermodal containers to more cities faster and more efficiently than any other worldport in the United States. As the largest intermodal facility on the U.S. East Coast, Virginia offers six direct-service trains to 28 major cities each day. More than 50 motor-carrier companies offer full freight-handling and load-consolidation services. A modern network of interstate and local highways permits fast, direct inland motor-freight transworldportation to any point in the United States.

Land is available to steamship lines for container storage and ancillary service companies.
