When the container terminal was fully operational, barges moved product from Lewiston to Portland for loading onto ocean liners, but that service has now fallen apart, Wyatt said. The problem may be mit- igated by transloading goods sent on barges from Lewiston onto trains in Boardman for shipment to Tacoma, he said. During the legislative hear- ing, the possibility of expand- ing Oregon ports in Coos Bay or Newport to accommodate containers was discussed, but Wyatt said this wasn’t a real- istic alternative due to huge investment involved. “The likelihood of develop- ing another container service in Oregon is unlikely because the capital cost is immense,” he said.
