Stimulus boost for Portland
The port of Portland has announced that an investment of US$16.3m in federal stimulus grants will help to enhance its marine and aviation facilities.
The port authority said the investment would help to create over 300 construction-related jobs and ensure the long-term effectiveness and efficiency of the cargo and passenger facilities.
The largest grant of $8.9m will go towards crane and wharf modernisation at Terminal 6, the only international marine container port in Oregon.
About $1.6m will be used to install modern motor drives and a new programmable logic controller in one of nine quayside container cranes. About $7.2m will be spent on extending the rails on which the cranes move to provide a two-berth post-panamax facility at container berths 604 and 605.
The Terminal 6 project alone will create 150 construction-related jobs.
