Port of Longview

Located just 66 river miles from the Pacific Ocean

Connect to the Port of Longview

Port of Longview is the first operating port on the Federally maintained, 43’ deep-draft Columbia River shipping channel in Southwest Washington State, USA. Located just 66 river miles from the Pacific Ocean, vessels can sail to and from the Port to the Pacific on just one tide–saving both time and money.

Three breakbulk berths, combined with mobile harbor cranes, on-dock rail and ample storage, allow the Port to accommodate a wide range of cargo handling needs.

The Port’s in-house Terminal Operations Department custom-tailors cargo handling plans for each vessel, ensuring customers the safest and most efficient experience.

Superior Rail Connections

The Port’s robust rail infrastructure provides additional options when planning your next operation. On dock rail, combined
with direct connections to Class 1 rail lines creates an opportunity to maximize efficiency while minimizing costs.

Direct to Rail, Direct Savings

The Port boasts 1,200 feet of on dock rail, allowing you to move cargo directly to or from the vessel in one step. Three rail lines adjacent to the bull rail provide seamless intermodal connections without having to leave the dock.

Connect Directly to the Mainline

Over 15 miles of internal rail connect all corners of the Port with both Class 1 mainline railroads. The Port’s private Industrial Rail Corridor links internal rail with mainline connections without disruption and provides superior service to rail dependent customers.
