In 2010, the Port of Port Angeles was visited by eight ships that were loaded with about 19 million board feet of logs bound for the Asian market.

At the beginning of this year, it was anticipated that 2011 would see a like number of log ships come to Port Angeles for about 24 million board feet.

Those early projections have easily been surpassed.

It is reasonable to surmise that the 2011 total numbers will double — if not triple — by year’s end.
