The Port of Virginia has announced it will create the deepest and widest shipping channels on the US East Coast by late 2024, while the federal work plan has recently been approved.
The work includes dredging the port’s shipping channels to 16.7 metres, with deeper ocean approaches, and widening them up to 426 metres in specific areas. When dredging is complete in 2024, the commercial channels serving the Norfolk Harbor will be able to simultaneously accommodate two ultra-large container vessels.
