On Pier 3, a small workforce with Astoria Forest Products is beginning to process logs for the next ship coming in May. The ship will be the first since the log export business at the Port of Astoria has gone fallow amid a trade war between the U.S. and China.

The Port, whose largest single source of revenue comes from exporting logs, recently agreed to defer several months of Astoria Forest Products’ rent as the exporter waits for Chinese business to pick back up.
