Portsmouth Marine Terminal (PMT) is a critical staging and pre-assembly hub for the Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind (CVOW) project by Dominion Energy. During this field trip, the visitor will be able to observe the logistics center for storing and loading giant turbine components (monopiles, towers, blades, nacelles) onto custom buit installation vessels, establishing Virginia as a key East Coast offshore wind center. The 176- wind turbine project will be able to power up to 660,000 homes.
Virginia International Gateway (VIG) is one of the main two semi-automated container terminals of the Virginia Port Authority (VPA) capable of handling the ultra-large container vessels. This terminal has 4,000 linear berths, 12 Super Post Panamax ship-to-shore cranes, and 2.2 Million TEU capacity. The container yard is served by 56 semi-automated stacking cranes and can easily process more than 3,500 truck transactions per day. This terminal is a vital hub for the East Coast international trade by offering deep water access and seamless intermodal connections. Only the first 30 people to sign up will be able to go this amazing visit.
Maximum capacity for the field trip: 30 people
