As the first month of the new year approaches its end, the Port of Vancouver USA is just gaining momentum for what seems to be a busy and productive 2023.
“We have always been very aware of and protected our maritime business,” said Julianna Marler, CEO of the Port of Vancouver. “It’s very market driven. Say you have a good like grain, for example, and we might have a bad year of crops. We continue to look at how we diversify the commodities we handle so that we can be financial stable. We’ve done a good job of making sure we anticipate that and with that we’ve been able to maintain financial stability with the working waterfront.”
Going into the new year, Marler said the Port hopes to continue with the momentum down at Terminal 1. Also, the I-5 Bridge is something that the Port will continue to work with area groups on – the Port is on the executive steering group and Marler said they will continue to advocate for freight mobility and safety.
