Port of Grays Harbor site of new liquid bulk terminalPosted by John Gillie @ 03:16:25 pm A new terminal designed to handle bulk liquids destined for Pacific Northwest consumers and manufacturers will be built at the Port of Grays Harbor.
Westway Terminals, will build a $17 million terminal with four tanks at the port in the first phase of the development, said the port.
The new facility will employ 10 to 12 workers.
“Gray’s Harbor’s close proximity to the Pacific Ocean, only an hour and a half from the open sea, is an excellent advantage for our Pacific Northwest hub,” said Scott MacKenzie, Westway vice president of business development.
Bulk liquids are expected to arrive via ship and barge and then be transferred to the terminal storage. From there, they will be distributed throughout the region via rail and truck.
The first liquid commodity the terminal is expected to handle is methanol.
