With its fleet of barges on the Columbia Snake River System, Foss carries enormous amounts of grain for the export market. Washington, Oregon, and Idaho represent one of the nation’s most important wheat production regions, and much of this wheat travels by barge on the river system to export terminals. Our fleet of tugs and specialized jumbo grain barges provides a critical link to the efficient and cost-effective movement of grain.
