U.S. Opens

Port Of Coos Bay

To Polish Ship Repairs

The U.S. Government, pushed by

Senator Bob Packwood (R-OR) and Congressman Peter DeFazio (D-OR), in concept, has given per- mission on a "case-by-case" basis for Polish fishing vessels operating off the Pacific Northwest coast to enter the International Port of Coos

Bay for long-term repairs and dry- docking service.

Frank Martin, general manager of the International Port of Coos

Bay said, "The agreement gives us the opportunity to bid on $22 to $24 million in annual maintenance of

Polish fishing vessels that ply Amer- ican waters. The Congressional teamwork that led to this decision is greatly appreciated by this region."

Currently, as many as 24 mid- water fishing vessels operate in the

Polish North American fleet. Be- cause drydock facilities in Coos Bay remain closed to the Polish vessels, this works is now being performed in Vancouver, British Columbia at a cost roughly 30 percent higher than the cost at Coos Bay.
