    Recently, Past President Jason Strickland of Givens Logistics was able to sit down with CNBC and explain how foreign trade zones are used to mitigate tariffs.

    The Propeller Club is proud that our Board members are not only leaders of our Club, but also respected leaders and problem solvers across the maritime industry!

    Congrats on the acknowledgement of your hard work and efforts to keep America moving and shipping, Jason!

    The Propeller Club, Port of Norfolk would like to extend a huge thank you to all of the golfers who braved the heat to join us for the Spring Golf Outing! 

    The swings were smooth, the sun was shining, the prizes were hot, and the drinks were cold yesterday at Sewells Point. A winning day from the first tee to the final putt.

    We can't wait to host you all again in the Fall!

    ODU Industry Night was a huge success!

    This SOLD OUT event brought together professionals across many industry segments, connected students to opportunities, and opened conversations full of advice and experience from the best in the business.

    As a result, we were able to present the ODU Student Propeller Club with a check for $5,000 to support their programing for the 2025-2026 school year!

    We can't thank our sponsors and attendees enough for your continued support of both the Norfolk Propeller Club & The ODU Student Propeller Club!

    Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us at our Annual Membership Meeting & Holiday Party!

    We are so proud to present our 2024 slate of charitable giving, totaling $88,500!

    This year was particularly special, as these organizations were nominated by members of The Propeller Club, Port of Norfolk and voted on by our board of governors. Each nomination must be for a non-profit organization with a local impact and highlight either a personal connection to that organization or the way in which it supports our maritime community and aligns with our guiding principles.

    We are so thankful to each and every member, event sponsor, and event attendee for your support this year. It is directly because of your engagement, that we are able to contribute to our community in this way.

    The Propeller Club Port of Norfolk celebrated National Maritime Day virtually on May 22, 2020. As we could not gather together this year, we believed it was still important to honor those who sail the rivers and seas and keep the ships afloat. 

    The one-of-a-kind virtual event included:

    -Wreath Laying Ceremony (courtesy of the Virginia Pilots, McAllister Towing and Moran Towing)

    -Awards and Recognitions

    -Special Remarks from Members of the Maritime Community

    Thank you to all who joined us. If you weren’t able to attend, you can still watch the event here:

    Special thanks to Primm Advertising for drone footage and video compilation.
