This brochure introduces the Port of Port Angeles, a deep-water marine facility in Washington State, and its benefits for businesses seeking strategic transportation access and cost savings. It is designed for companies considering marine repair, industrial leasing, or trade-related operations on the Olympic Peninsula.
The first section covers Foreign Trade Zone No. 303, which allows businesses to defer, reduce, or eliminate certain customs duties. It also describes the Clallam County Opportunity Fund, a 0.09% sales tax rebate that provides $10,000 per permanent job created, and the availability of strategic reserve funds for business recruitment.
The brochure highlights the local workforce, including engineers, fabricators, welders, and technical personnel, supported by Peninsula Community College's Marine Trades Program. It also notes public ferry access to Victoria, BC, as a logistical advantage.
The marine terminal section details the port's depth exceeding 90 feet, berthing capacity for vessels up to 1,000 feet and 125,000 weight tons, and protection by Ediz Hook. It mentions 10 acres of heavy industrial land for lease and marine services such as hydraulics, fiberglass, wood repair, painting, and welding.
Additional facilities include the Port Angeles Boat Yard with a 300-ton travel lift, charter plane services, and industrial parks adjacent to the airport with building opportunities. The brochure ends with contact information for Marty Marchant, Marine Trades Manager.
