An Authentic Working Waterfront That Invites You To Come And Play

Newport International Terminal

• One of only three deep draft ports on the Oregon Coast
• Traditional exporter and importer of forest products
• Entrance bar is dredged to 40 feet
• Mean tidal range is about 6 feet
• Turning basin located adjacent to the cargo berths is 900 by 1,200 feet wide
• Air draft under the highway bridge is 135 feet at low water
• Cargo docks are about 1.5 miles from the ocean entrance buoy with transit time from pilot boarding to vessel tie up at less than 60 minutes
• 20 acres of vacant industrial land with all utilities available for development and 30 acres of bulk cargo storage available adjacent to the terminal.

In 1996, a release from the Pasley of Bunker C fuel, diesel fuel, and other types of petroleum hydrocarbons into Yaquina Bay occurred.  This release, along with the decline of the structural integrity of the Pasley, has resulted in exausting the assessment of the environmental condition of the Pasley but also the closing of the dock to cargo movement or vessel tie-up. The current state of the Pasley shows that the hull is twisting and contorting outboard into Yaquina Bay.  This produces a high structural strength stress that will result in failure of the old vessel’s hull.
