Port of Portland's Terminal 6
An international shipping company continues to eye the Port of Coos Bay on the Southern Oregon Coast as the future home of its newest terminal to handle container cargo. But APM Terminals North America has slowed the process in light of a struggling global economy that has caused shipping companies to record huge losses. APM is talking about building a terminal capable of annually handling 2 million 20-foot unit equivalent containers, the industry standard. By comparison, Portland managed 245,459 containers in 2008.
