This year we’ll be blessed again with a wonderful Astoria tradition: Ship Horns on the Waterfront at Midnight. Many thanks to the Columbia River Bar Pilots for making this happen, and to the ship captains and crews who agree to participate. With all that’s happened this year, we all need a boost. Thank you for making our New Year’s Eve special.
If you’re near the Astoria Waterfront on Friday night: listen and enjoy!
For folks who can’t be there, I’ll be recording it and will have those wonderful sounds on the Ship Report on Monday! Listen at 8:49 on KMUN 91.9 (stream at KMUN.org) or hear the podcast here on the website… Happy New Year!

The Port of Portland is the Columbia River’s only container port. The volume of containers handled here is tiny compared to quantities at other West Coast ports. But that’s changing as Asian shippers look for congestion free ports to process their cargo. There will now be even more container ships calling on Portland, as one shipper adds the port to its trans Pacific itinerary.
