PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- The Port of Portland expects to send 10,000 Ford vehicles to South Korea this year, an agreement that predates a recent free-trade agreement between the two countries.
Oregon Public Broadcasting reports the port has imported vehicles from Asia for years. Port official Greg Borossay says the trade agreement will help Ford sell cars in South Korea.
The port has a draft plan to expand its auto-shipping terminal. Officials at Portland International Airport also report an uptick in goods leaving Portland for South Korea.
Aviation officials say a new carrier has been making multiple weekly trips, carrying products from silicon wafers to blueberries.
