Ingqalelo! Izibuko lasePortland kuNxweme oluseNtshona lwaseMelika liza kuyekisa ukusebenza kweeContainer ngo-Okthobha kulo nyaka!

Kutshanje, iPort of Portland kuNxweme oluseNtshona lweMelika ibhengeze ukuba iza kuyeka imisebenzi yokulayisha nokukhupha iikhonteyina ukususela nge-1 ka-Okthobha kulo nyaka.

Izibuko lasePortland lizingca ngesikhululo seenqwelo-moya e-Oregon esikwaziyo ukuthwala imithwalo yeekhonteyina zamazwe ngamazwe, kodwa imisebenzi yaso yeekhonteyina ifumene ilahleko yonyaka ye-$13 yezigidi kwiminyaka emibini edlulileyo, kunye noqikelelo olufanayo kunyaka ozayo, nto leyo eyenza ukuba singazinzi.

UKeith Leavitt, uMlawuli oyiNtloko wePort of Portland, uthe emva kokuqhawuka kweengxoxo nabaqhubi abanokubakho beqela lesithathu, benze isigqibo sokumisa imisebenzi.

Ukhankanye ukuba babengalindelanga esi siphumo, kodwa ilahleko zemali zaqhubeka zisanda ngaphandle komqhubi okhoyo, kunye nokungabikho kwenkxaso-mali evela kurhulumente welizwe, nto leyo eyabangela ukuba kumiswe ukusebenza kweekhonteyina.

Iindawo zokulala zeekhonteyina kwiPort of Portland zikwiTerminal 6 (T6), ekuphela kwendawo yokugcina iikhonteyina zamanzi anzulu eOregon. Inonxweme lweemitha ezingama-289 (olunokufikelela kwiimitha ezingama-867 kunye neendawo ezimbini zokulala ezikufutshane ezinezinto ezininzi), ubunzulu obuphezulu beemitha ezili-12.9, iikhreyini ezisixhenxe ze-quay (ezine kuzo ziikhreyini ze-post-Panamax gantry), igadi yeekhonteyina ezimalunga ne-510,000 square metres, kwaye ikhonzwa sisakhiwo se-intermodal esineendlela zoololiwe ezisibhozo eziqhagamshelwe kwi-mainline rail.

Nangona kunjalo, ngenxa yokuba ikwindawo ekumlomo womlambo kwaye xa ithelekiswa nezinye izibuko ezikuNxweme oluseNtshona lwe-US, ishishini leekhonteyina zePort of Portland aliphumelelanga, kwaye alizange lifumane nzuzo xa liqhutywa ngokuzimeleyo ligunya lezibuko.

Njengoko isikhululo seekhonteyina sivaliwe kwiPort of Portland, abathumeli banokukhetha iTacoma eWashington ngenxa yeemfuno zabo zothutho kwixesha elizayo.
