LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) — Longshore union workers handled the first grain ship to dock at the $200 million EGT terminal in Longview.
The arrival of the ship Tuesday was peaceful, in contrast to union demonstrations over the past year.
The Daily News reports (http://is.gd/xn1MmR) the union and grain terminal operator resolved fundamental issues but continued talks Tuesday on a contract.
The first grain ship will take 57,000 tons of Washington wheat to South Korea. EGT expects to load 150 to 200 ships a year, carrying wheat, corn and soybeans to Asia.
