The Port of Milwaukee received 274 vessel visits and processed more than 2.4 million metric tons of cargo during its busy 2016 shipping season.

Newly released year-end statistics show nearly 136 million metric tons of cargo moved through the Port of Vancouver during 2016. That was down 1.8 percent from 2015 despite record bulk grain shipments.
