The Port of Virginia saw a small gain in container volume last month and a smidge more than that for the fiscal year that ended June 30, port officials announced Tuesday.
The number of containers handled in June, measured in standard 20-foot units, or TEUs, rose 1.5 percent to 216,672, up from 213,517 in the same month a year ago.
“This was the best June on record in terms of TEU volume, but we’re off in many categories when compared with last year,” said John Reinhart, executive director and CEO of the Virginia Port Authority, in a statement.
For the July to June fiscal year just ended, the port saw a year-over-year TEU gain of 2.5 percent, to 2.57 million from 2.51 million a year earlier.
