摘要：	Leadership from the Ports of Longview and Kalama, Wash., and the Portland Engineer District have agreed to fund an estimated $2.1 million study of potential improvements to lower Columbia River turning basins. Currently, there are very few places on the lower Columbia to turn large, fully loaded ships. These vessels need to be turned around before passing through Longview, Wash., when Pacific Northwest storms force Columbia River Bar closures for unsafe conditions. "It's critical for us to ensure the Columbia River Federal Navigation Channel is reliable and safe," said Col. Michael Helton, Portland Engineer District commander. "An additional turning basin and improvements to another in the system will provide additional safety in the lower river if the bar conditions require a vessel to change its course," he said. The primary benefit of improvements to the turning basins at the Ports of Kalama and Longview would be a decrease in transportation delay costs.
