Portland (OR) Receives $1.25 Million Federal Seaport Security Grant
Oregon’s Port of Portland will receive $1.25 million from the federal Port Security Grant Program to upgrade marine terminal security systems.
The port successfully applied through the local Area Maritime Security Committee for funding to rebuild key components of security systems at marine Terminals 4 and 6. Specifically, the money will go toward renewing antiquated closed circuit television cameras and systems, and overhauling access control systems at terminal gates.
Terminal 4 on the Willamette River facilitates auto imports and shipping of mineral bulks. The multi-use Terminal 6 on the Columbia River is served by five berths and eight rail tracks serves the port’s auto and container trades.
"We greatly appreciate this support from FEMA, allowing us to upgrade our marine security systems to protect these vital business assets for our community," said Vince Granato, the port’s chief operating officer.
