The Port Virginia announced a cooperative effort with ocean carrier CMA CGM that will greatly enhance service at the Port of Richmond, an upriver barge terminal located on Interstate 95 that extends the port’s inland reach by 90 miles. The growing, world-wide ocean carrier is offering a Richmond bill of lading to the shipping public, both importers and exporters. Any shipper tendering cargo to or from CMA CGM at the Port of Richmond will have access to multiple ports worldwide that are served by the ocean carrier. “The Port of Richmond is growing and holds potential for CMA CGM and the other large ocean carriers that offer bills of lading to this strategically located terminal,” said John F. Reinhart, CEO and executive director of the Virginia Port Authority. “This announcement bolsters our continuing work to expand the business at the Port of Richmond, provides value to our customers and fosters the economic development of the surrounding community.”
