About the Hosts
Columbia River Steamship Operators' Association
Established in 1922, the Columbia River Steamship Operators' Association's mission is to facilitate trade, provide business leadership, exercise principles of environmental stewardship, serve as an industry focal point, and promote operating policies and practices that are safe, reliable, efficient, and cost-effective.
The Columbia River trade corridor is the lifeblood of our regional economy, supporting 51.1 million tons of foreign and domestic waterborne trade at a value of over $25.3 billion annually. The Columbia River is the nation’s number one wheat export gateway and number two for corn and soybean exports. It is the third largest grain export gateway in the world, as well as the West Coast’s leader in dry bulks, mineral bulk, wood exports and auto imports and exports.
