Two export grain elevators — one run by Kalama Export Company, the other by TEMCO — define this Columbia River port in southwest Washington, about 75 river miles from the Pacific. Together they help make Kalama the second-largest grain exporter on the US West Coast, handling roughly 6.3 million tonnes of dry bulk and over 200 vessel calls a year. Corn, soybeans and wheat bound mainly for Asian markets make up the bulk of throughput, while separate berths handle steel and general breakbulk. Rail, road and the Columbia-Snake river barge system connect the terminals to the Pacific Northwest's farm belt. Kalama is a dry-bulk export specialist, not a container or liner port. For those services, Portland and neighbouring Longview are the closest options.
