Total Acreage: 220 Pier Length: 3000 ft. Depth: 52 ft. Cranes: 6 Capacity: 1.5M TEUs Cost: $1.2B
Future Craney Island Marine Terminal
2012 Metrics • 2nd Best Year in the Port’s History • 2.1 million TEUs • 2012 – Fastest Growing Port on East Coast
9.8% is better than Savannah, Charleston, or NY
• New intermodal rail service to and from Greensboro, NC, (via Norfolk Southern) was launched in 2012
• Panama Canal Expansion will be complete 2015. Already handling large ships via Suez Canal
• 163 Ships with +10,000 TEU capacity are on the seas today – 120 new ships have been ordered
InterCoastal Waterway Freeway An Opportunity ?
• Formalized NC-Va Port Relationship • Negotiated barging to/from specialty
port locations in Va/NC • Additional federal dollars for dredging
based on additional commercial barge traffic
• Result: an improved waterway for our recreational fishermen
Issue of Port Privatization
• To privatize, or not to privatize …at the March 26 Board meeting
• If privatized – expect 6-12 months of direct negotiations with APM Terminals, J.P. Morgan, or both simultaneously.
• If privatized, Virginia would shift from an operating port model to a landlord port model
High Speed Rail
• Richmond to Norfolk
• Future passenger rail to the Outer Banks?
Critical Highway Corridor Completions
• Highways 17 & 64
• Hwy 17 - Backbone for our 40 county Eastern
Heritage Corridor. Branding Eastern NC to foreign travelers
• Critical routes for access to the Inner Banks
• Critical for new southern route from Hampton Roads to I-95
I-44
