2016.03.04 - Virginia Maritime Association Releases Economic Impact Report

The Virginia Maritime Association commissioned the Raymond A. Mason School of Business at the College of William & Mary to produce a comprehensive report of the economic impacts of Virginia’s commercial ports and maritime industry. This independently prepared report documents FY 2013 economic and fiscal impacts of both domestic and international commerce through Virginia’s ports and related activities. “The time has come to tell the full story of the economic impacts the commercial maritime industry has on the entire Commonwealth,” says Virginia Maritime Association Board President Raymond A. Newlon. “This study confirms what most within the industry have always known, businesses throughout Virginia rely on Virginia’s ports directly or indirectly.”
