HARBOR GROUP TO MEET WEDNESDAY, August 29

A release from the Harbor Group:

The Humboldt Bay Harbor Working Group will be having its monthly luncheon this Wednesday, the 29th.  But instead of having a guest speaker, we will be having a general discussion about Pacific Northwest Railroad’s plans for rail connect between the deep-water sea port of Humboldt Bay and the truck-rail hub terminal at Gerber near Red Bluff.

At our last two luncheons, representatives of PNR gave us an overview of what they are planning. It wants to connect the Port of Humboldt Bay to the national rail network.  The goal is more efficient, reliable, and—consequently—economical shipping of containerized goods between our nation and the Asia market. Their project is threefold: (1) the inland terminal, (2) the sea port, and (3) the rail connection between the two.

Our luncheon discussion will focus on the plans for the rail connect. We want to discuss what we see will happen to our port with the rail connect…what will we get with rail connection to the rest of the Nation; what are the positives and negatives we foresee of doing it?  Further, what might happen without the rail connect…are there advantages of not having rail connection to the rest of the Nation?

The luncheon is at the Samoa Cookhouse and is a “no host” event. Lunch starts being served at noon; and the discussion will start around 12:20.

We invite and encourage you to attend and participate in the discussion.

HARBOR GROUP MEETS ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 27

From the Humboldt Bay Harbor Working Group :

“Is there a Market for Containerized Shipments from our Port to the rest of the World?”

EUREKA—The presentation for this month’s Humboldt Bay Harbor Working Group (HBHWG) luncheon will be guest speaker Mike Marsden, Vice President, Business Development, Pacific Charter Financial Services who will share the potential markets for containerized shipments through the Port of Humboldt Bay.

​The seventh busiest container port in the United States is the Port of Oakland.  It handles more than 99% of the containerized goods moving through Northern California, and three-quarters of that trade is with Asia.  The Port of Humboldt Bay is an ideal location for handling a portion of the containerized goods now going through the Port of Oakland.

Mike Marsden will present an overview of what that portion of containerized goods might be. Mr. Marsden is with Pacific Northwest Railroad (PNR). The group has studied the supply chain feeding the Port of Oakland’s operations, and has identified existing markets that would move their containerized shipments through our Port rather than other Ports.

This presentation is the third in a series on “The Development of the Port of Humboldt Bay as an International Seaport.”  The next few Luncheons will continue to be dedicated to envisioning our Harbor as an international seaport.

The luncheon is scheduled for Wednesday, June 27, at the Samoa Cookhouse.  The luncheon is a “no host” event. Lunch starts being served at noon; and the presentation starts around 12:30.

Southern Fried Chicken will be served for lunch at $16 and soup and salad is available for $12.  To RSVP please contact 707-441-1974 or email:  Charles.Bean@Yahoo.com

At the sparsely attended Humboldt Bay Harbor Working Group luncheon at the Samoa Cookhouse on Wednesday Jan 27, the small group of devotees heard from Interim Planning Director Rob Wall that a reworking of the Local Coastal Plan needs to be completed by April. Workshops will be announced shortly and will likely be held at the Harbor District’s facility on Woodley Island. 

The small turnout was blamed on the TImes-Standard, which had not carried the meeting announcement.
