Reliability by River - Lecture #2

Our popular public lecture series is back! Engaging speakers are invited to present on a specific topic related to the Port of Vancouver USA. Each season we cover several subjects from the maritime industry to global trade, tourism and more. It’s a great way to learn more about your port and what we do for Vancouver.

Lecture #2:

Tidewater is the largest inland marine transportation company west of the Mississippi River. Its operating area extends 465 miles from the Port of Astoria, Oregon to the inland Port of Lewiston, Idaho. Discover how this Vancouver-headquartered business moves vital cargo up and down our river system. Tidewater’s Jennifer Riddle will detail the complex and integral work carried out by Tidewater’s tugs, barges, terminals and people.
