Marine Terminal Permitting

The Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) on December 21, 2011, approved a removal-fill permit for the development of an access channel and multi-purpose vessel slip on the North Spit of Coos Bay. The multi-year permit will expire on December 21, 2016.

The Oregon International Port of Coos Bay submitted the permit application in January 2007. The culmination of that effort in December 2011 opens the way for development of modern marine cargo facilities, expansion of the southern Oregon coast maritime industry and increased use of the Coos Bay rail line. This permit approval further reinforces the viability of Coos Bay's deep-water harbor for the enhancement of the economy and quality of life in the region.
