Regional less-than-truckload carrier Pitt Ohio announced Tuesday it has opened a 37-door, cross-dock maritime terminal in Norfolk, Virginia.
The 15,000-square-foot facility sits 10 miles from the Port of Norfolk, providing transloading and consolidation services to Pitt Ohio’s customers. The site has hazmat certifications and can handle overweight containers as well as flatbed loads.
Pitt Ohio also operates as a nonvessel operating common carrier, handling all aspects of ocean shipping, customs and inland transportation.
The location will be served by Pitt Ohio’s privately owned chassis fleet.
“[The terminal’s] strategic location, near the Port of Norfolk and our Richmond LTL terminal, offers an unparalleled advantage by facilitating seamless integration between maritime, inland transport, and warehousing,” said Chuck Hammel, IV, Pitt Ohio vice president of supply chain, in a news release.
“This synergy significantly reduces transit times and enhances overall supply chain efficiency, yielding substantial cost savings for our customers annually.”
Pittsburgh-based Pitt Ohio has more than 3,400 employees and generated over $940 million in revenue last year. In addition to LTL, it offers a suite of supply chain, warehousing and logistics services as well as ground and truckload transportation.
The company announced in January the addition of an express lane to six border-crossing points in Texas.
