The Port of Virginia reported record volumes in October.
The port moved 265,490, 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in October, up more than 11 percent from the previous year. It also set a monthly record for the most cargo handled in a single month.
Peak-season volumes are steady, and Virginia Port Authority CEO and Executive Director John Reinhart expects those trends to continue through December, according to a statement.
For the first 10 months of 2017, TEU volumes are up 7.9 percent, containers up 8.2 percent, rail up 4 percent, trucks up 10 percent and barge volume is up 28.5 percent.
