The Port of Longview has collected $15.2 million in revenue in the first six months of the year — about 2 percent above last year’s record pace — and port officials expect an even better second half, they said Tuesday.
Port officials said strong log exports continued to boost revenue in the quarter ending in June, while grain exports from the EGT terminal slowed this summer because of Midwest drought conditions.
The port made $2.78 million in net income off its $15.2 million in revenue for the first six months of 2013, a 20 percent return that pleased port commissioners.
