Aberdeen, WA – The Port of Grays Harbor is thrilled to partner with Grays Harbor Transit to offer even more public tour attendees the opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at the Terminal 4 Expansion & Redevelopment Project under construction this summer.
The 90-minute experience kicks off with an overview presentation of the Port and its facilities before heading out for a bus tour of the Port’s deep-water marine terminals and industrial properties. This year’s attendees will be treated to a unique experience as the Terminal 4 Expansion Project is well underway.
The transformational T4 Expansion Project includes construction of a new AGP export facility at Terminal 4B which will create 80 full-time, family-wage jobs when operational in mid-2026. To support AGP’s private investment in a second export facility, the Port is constructing 47,700 feet of rail within the marine terminal complex and making major upgrades to the T4 dock, including construction of a new fendering system and a stormwater collection and treatment system. The project will also add more than 30 acres of upland cargo laydown area to support ongoing and future operations at Terminal 4A.
Marine Terminal Tours will be held on:
Thursday, June 26th: 5 – 6:30pm
Wednesday, July 9th: 3 – 4:30pm
Thursday, August 21st: 5 – 6:30pm
“Every year our summer tour program sells out with a waiting list, so we are grateful to Grays Harbor Transit for partnering with us to offer these tours to even more participants,” shared Port of Grays Harbor Commission President Phil Papac. “With all of the activity at the terminals and the T4 Expansion Project construction underway, it is an incredible time to take a tour.”
Reservations are required, as space is limited. To reserve your seat, call 360-533-9528 or email ccrisp@portgrays.org.
