State and local officials say they haven’t given up on efforts to attract a new trans-Pacific shipping line to take cargo containers in and out of Portland. The Port of Portland lost its last major shipping line s earlier this year amid long-standing labor disputes between longshoremen and the company hired to operate Terminal 6. The lack of container traffic at the port has meant additional costs for importers and exporters in the region, and led to increased traffic congestion as more cargo moves by truck.
