International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) has bagged its first port project in the United States, with the signing of a 25-year lease with the Port of Portland for the container and breakbulk facility at Terminal 6. The Port of Portland will be ICTSI’s exclusive focus on the West Coast. ICTSI has staff and management in Portland with local and West Coast expertise.
The Port of Portland has long aimed to connect the region to the national and global marketplace. Many of the Port’s key existing customers such as shipping lines, railroads and airlines are located outside of the region or outside of the US and are private sector companies.
