Up to 22 million tonnes a year of export capacity sit at the Dominion (DTA) coal terminal — now owned by Alpha Metallurgical Resources — alongside the Kinder Morgan Pier IX/X terminals at Newport News, which together account for roughly a quarter of all US coal-export capacity. Fed by CSX rail from the Appalachian coalfields of Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky, coal export defines this Hampton Roads port within the wider Port of Virginia. The 165-acre Newport News Marine Terminal handles breakbulk, ro-ro and project cargo across Piers B and C, while Newport News Shipbuilding anchors a major naval construction industry. Container liner traffic, however, does not call here; boxes move through Norfolk International Terminals and the Virginia International Gateway across Hampton Roads. Rail and interstate links make the port a high-capacity outlet for bulk and heavy breakbulk. For containerised cargo, Norfolk is the appropriate alternative.
