The Port of Virginia is the fifth largest container port in the nation, and the project is part of a $650 million master program for the North International Terminal to maximize its waterside real estate and develop the infrastructure needed to accommodate modern cargo vessels.
The project scope encompasses upgrades to the Norfolk International Terminal North Wharf, which includes the demolition of existing marine wharf fenders and mooring hardware, followed by the installation of new fenders, mooring bollards, a steel sheet pile toe wall, wharf repairs, and mooring dolphins. Also included is the installation of a new 120-foot gauge ship-to-shore crane rail.
The contracted project has an anticipated completion date set for January 2026. For the overall program, construction will be completed in two phases: phase I will be complete in fourth quarter 2025, with phase II wrapping up in mid-2027.
