Robinson Terminal Warehouse Corporation is a warehouse company based in Alexandria, Virginia. The company primarily handles newsprint for its owner, The Washington Post Company. It operates two deep-water berths alongside the Potomac River, one at the terminus of Oronoco Street, the other at the terminus of Duke Street. A railroad spur serves the Orinoco facility. Vessels heading to or from the berths must pass under the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, sometimes requiring the bridge's drawspan to open.[1]

In addition to the two ports, the company operates two warehouse facilities in Springfield, Virginia and one in College Park, Maryland.[2] One of the Springfield warehouses is located along the Inner Loop of the Capital Beltway, and is frequently used as a landmark in local traffic reports.[3][4]
