Port Partners,
In our constant effort to optimize the efficiency of the terminal experience, we are pleased to announce the following:
EFFECTIVE MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 2019:
A new off-dock chassis yard will open, in Portsmouth, adjacent to Portsmouth Marine Terminal (PMT) and the Pinners Point Container Yard (PPCY). The new chassis yard will be co-located with the existing Reefer Service Area (RSA) and will act as a drop and pick location for HRCPII chassis.
- Entry and exit will be via Harper Avenue
- RSA and Portsmouth Chassis Yard (PCY) operations remain unchanged
- Chassis currently on terminal at Virginia International Gateway (VIG) will be relocated to the new off-dock chassis yard
- Effective August 12, VIG will no longer receive/accept bare chassis
- As of that date, VIG bare chassis must be dropped at the RSA
- Drivers may still pick-up bare chassis at VIG after August 12, subject to availability, until inventories are depleted
- The new off-dock chassis yard will offer a “One Stop Shop” for chassis
- A start/stop location for HRCPII operations
- Servicing all chassis sizes
- Major and minor damage repairs accepted
- The gate hours at the new off-dock chassis yard will mirror gate hours at VIG
