22FEB2019 - NEWS - Port of Virginia completes up stack yard works as a part of its expansion project

The Virginia International Gateway (VIG) has recently completed another step in its expansion project as it launched operations at its container stack No. 1. The end of the stack-yard work leaves only two projects to be completed before the entire USD 320 million effort comes to a close in June, according to the Port of Virginia. With the completion of stack No. 1, the terminal now has 13 additional container stacks, each served by two new rail-mounted gantry cranes (RMGs). The new stacks compliment 15 existing stacks, also served by RMGs. The expansion has doubled the terminal’s annual container throughput capacity, according to the port authority, as VIG can now process 1.2 million container lifts a year. The expanded stack-yard is being combined with four new ship-to-shore cranes and 800 additional feet of berth space.
