Despite its riverside setting near Washington, Alexandria (US AXR) is no longer a working cargo port. Its former deep-water berths at Robinson Terminal handled newsprint for the Washington Post until 2013 and are now being redeveloped into housing and retail. With only limited freight relevance, forwarders moving cargo for the capital region rely instead on the Port of Baltimore, the Port of Virginia at Norfolk, and the Richmond Marine Terminal on the James River.
