Facts about BVI shipping ports

British Virgin Islands

The Ports of the British Virgin Islands (BVI), which include Port Purcell and the Port of Virgin Gorda, are convenient, centrally-located Caribbean shipping centers where you can send your consolidated container of commercial or consumer goods and save a considerable amount on overseas freight charges. In addition, these ports have modern facilities with a myriad of amenities. What’s more: this British Overseas Territory has a very stable, economically-sound government, so you don’t have to be concerned about any disruption in your business due to work stoppages or political unrest.
