In exchange, the port will receive US$11.45 million in compensation to rebuild business, as well as additional container handling equipment, spare parts and tools at the terminal.<\/p>\n
\u201cSmall businesses, farmers, agricultural producers, shippers and communities throughout the Columbia River region deserve and need a fully-functioning container terminal,\u201d said ICTSI Oregon CEO Elvis Ganda.<\/p>\n
