      About Us...
      The Virgin Islands Port Authority (VIPA) was created by the Legislature of the Virgin Islands on Dec. 24, 1968 through Act 2375. The Authority was established to own, develop, operate and manage all of the air and marine ports in the United States Virgin Islands. It was also charged with controlling the harbors in the territory, but not the mooring and anchoring of vessels. The law stipulates that VIPA must make its properties available to the public so that the populace may reap the benefits of these facilities.
      The Aviation Division
      The Port Authority owns and operates two airports, the Cyril E. King Airport (CEKA) on St. Thomas and the Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (HERA) on St. Croix. VIPA is currently undergoing a major renovation and construction project at HERA to expand its terminal and runway to accommodate more passengers and airlines. This project is part of an initiative by VIPA to help boost the economy of St. Croix. (The international airport identifiers are: STT for the St. Thomas airport and STX for the St. Croix airport.)
      The Marine Division
      The Port Authority owns and operates marine cargo and passenger facilities on St. Thomas, St. John and St. Croix. On St. Thomas, the facilities include: the Charlotte Amalie Waterfront; the Edward Wilmoth Blyden IV Marine Terminal; the Crown Bay Cargo Port; the Crown Bay Cruise Ship Terminal; and the Red Hook Marine Facility, which includes a cargo and passenger facility. On St. John, there are two facilities, the Loredon Lorence Boynes, Sr. Dock and the St. John Cargo Dock which is referred to as "The Creek." On St. Croix, the facilities include: the Gallows Bay Dock; the Ann E. Abramson Marine Facility; the Wilfred "Bomba" Allick Port and Transshipment Center, also known as "The Containerport;" and the Molasses Pier.
