The Port of Portland was
commissioned in 1891 to deepen and maintain the
Columbia River navigation channel westward to the
Pacific Ocean in order to provide safe passage for
oceangoing ships bringing goods in from around the
world and for exporting agricultural products from
the West and Midwest. The port’s responsibilities
and assets include terminals, four airports, and seven
business parks along the Columbia and Willamette
rivers. There are 50 piers, wharves, and docks at the
port’s five public terminals. Combined with the private
marine facilities in the Portland harbor, Portland is
now the largest wheat export port in the U.S., the third
largest export tonnage port on the West Coast, and
the largest volume handler of automobiles (imports
and exports) on the West Coast. Its container handling
volume is 14th largest in the nation.
