Import Distribution and Transportation

Portland is an excellent import gateway for transload and distribution savings from the Far East to the Midwest and beyond. Even with our recent successes, Portland is still the best kept secret on the West Coast.

Inland transportation cost savings
Domestic carriers seeking to fill their equipment in Portland for backhaul to the east and south typically offer lower-cost transportation.

Better domestic truck and rail equipment availability
Operate with more certainty in Portland, where equipment availability is less seasonal compared to other West Coast ports.

No congestion
Unlike other West Coast ports, the Port of Portland remains uncongested with truck turn times of about 30 minutes.

Owner-operator port offers flexibility mega-facilities cannot
As both owner and operator, the Port of Portland has the flexibility to meet your needs.

Land and space for warehousing
Both existing warehouse space and vacant land are available in the Port´s Rivergate Industrial District, which surrounds the container terminal.
