Astoria

The Port of Astoria was established in 1910. We are governed by the rules of the State of Oregon and an elected board of Commissioners sets policy for management by the Executive Director.

The Port offers services to commercial and recreational boaters at its two marinas and boatyard, to commercial and cargo vessels, fish processing, cruise ships, and research vessels at its deep-draft marine terminals, and operates the Astoria/Warrenton Regional Airport. The Port has industrial and commercial leasing opportunities on its properties at the Airport, Skipanon Peninsula, and waterfront locations.
