The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay has initiated the scoping process for the development of a 1,700-foot-diameter vessel turning basin near the proposed Henderson Ranch waterway.  The turning basin would serve three facilities at the current time:  the Roseburg Forest Products woodchip export terminal, the Jordan Cove Energy Project LNG berth and the Oregon Gateway cargo facility.  Other lower bay marine development would also benefit from this proposed new navigation infrastructure.

Project Status:  The Port is in communication with a marine engineering and construction firm to establish project costs and timelines, and is working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.  Actual construction of the turning basin would not occur prior to a final decision on the siting of the proposed LNG import facility.
