A Moment of History1927The 1927 Virginia Ports Annual described our port as ldquoa great worldrsquos port adequately equipped with the most modern port facilities a harbor free all year lsquoround from ice of sufficient expanse to accommodate at anchorage an unlimited number of vessels with a tidal range of but two and one half feet and depth in main channel of forty feet or overrdquo

Today the Atlantic and Thimble Shoal channels are over 50-feet deep and approved to be dredged up to 59-feet and 56-feet respectively that our waters remain ice free and it is still equipped with the most modern port facilities The rivers now offer express barge services and a diversity of terminals for container and bulk products like grain coal liquid and more

Would settlers in 1607 have imagined the region as it is today In 1927 Our port has continuously sought growth and it makes you wonderWhat will it become in the next 100 years

NORFOLK | ldquoEverything around here one way or another runs on the waterrdquo said Jennifer Palestrant of Tidewater Community College and the Southeast Maritime and Transportation (SMART) Center as she opened a two-day conference in Norfolk focused on all things maritime

Training the maritime workforce however is a work in progress ldquoIf wersquore going to reap the benefits of the maritime industry we have to meet the need for skilled workersrdquo US Rep Bobby Scott chair of the House Education and Labor Committee said in his address ldquoWe live in an increasingly global economy Wersquore competing for jobs with cities all over the world

Retired Navy Rear Adm Mark Buzby head of the Federal Maritime Administration (MARAD) was the conference keynote speaker Hersquos a frequent visitor to Capitol Hill to testify before Congress about how to energize the maritime industry

ldquoThey ask me lsquoAdmiral how do you fix thisrsquo rdquo he said ldquoI tell them we need more ships we need more cargo and we need more peoplerdquo
