Saturday opening for Virginia terminal

The terminal and the empty container yard will be open on Saturdays from 8am until noon, from September 15 to December 1; these months are traditionally the year’s busiest as holiday cargo moves through the port. If the programme is successful, the extended hours may run beyond December 1, or more hours may be added to the Saturday schedule.

“We want to be a good neighbor and do our part to help reduce the number of our trucks on Hampton Boulevard,” said Jeff Keever, deputy executive director of the Virginia Port Authority. “We are encouraging the trucking community and shippers to make use of Saturdays now.”
