Vessel Services

Virginia Sets Deep Draft Record with MSC Chicago The Port of Virginia set a mark that no other port on the US East Coast can equal: it loaded a containership so heavy that it required 49 feet of water to sail. Virginia is the last stop on the service and the 50 foot channel depth allows the Port to load heavy and maximize the economy of scale of a Suez Class vessel. The Port of Virginia holds the prior East Coast depth record of 48.5 feet with the MSC Roma. Both ships were fully loaded May 2013, Portsmouth, Va.
