Incorporated in 1910, the Port of Newport’s district covers 59 square miles, including the City of Newport. The Port’s primary functions are offering shipping terminal facilities, commercial and sport boat moorages and support services. The Port is based in Yaquina Bay on the central Oregon Coast and was originally constructed as a deep-water port to provide shipping services to local, regional, and international vessels and to service one of the largest commercial fishing fleets on the Oregon coast. The Port carries an aggressive marketing posture in an effort to retain and expand the import/export opportunities at the terminal. This focus recognizes the importance of shipping activity for continued federal operations and maintenance of Yaquina Bay’s navigation features.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ authorized navigation project at Yaquina Bay includes two high-tide, rubble mound jetties 1,000 feet apart at the entrance. The north jetty is 7,000 feet long and the south jetty is 8,600 feet long. The entrance channel is 400 feet wide and 40 feet deep with an inner channel 30 feet wide and 30 feet deep. The turning basin is authorized at 30 feet deep, 900 to 1,200 feet wide, and 1,400 feet long. -portofnewport.com
