CEO Position At Port Of Longview

The Port of Longview, Washington, is the first full-service operating port on the deep-draft Columbia River shipping channel. With more than 800 acres of property equipped for marine services, storage and industrial use, Longview is an efficient link in supply chains stretching between Asia, Europe and the Americas. In operation since 1921, the Port of Longview has a proud history of service as the connection between raw materials and the industrial customers who create finished goods around the globe. At just 66 miles from the mouth of the Columbia River at the Pacific Ocean, Longview offers direct inter-modal connections to all regional rail lines and swift connections to highways, including Interstate 5 north or south, and Interstates 84 and 90 for east and west bound cargo heading to or from the Port. Additionally, the Port of Longview is the first operating bulk / breakbulk port on the Columbia River able to utilize the full deep-draft navigation channel on a single tide, eliminating additional wait time for the next high tide. Superior transportation connections make Longview ideal for bulk, breakbulk and project shipments via the Pacific Northwest.
