“ITOCHU Corporation has agreed with Bunge North America, a major Saint Louis-based agribusiness firm, and STX Pan Ocean (America), Inc., a New York-based U.S. corporation of the largest South Korean bulk carrier, to spend more than $200 million to jointly build one of the largest export grain terminals on the West Coast.” — source, 2026-11-01
The 2009 release shows the Korean bulk carrier as a founding partner of the Longview (PNW) export terminal. A shift of Asia-bound grain from the Gulf to the PNW would raise terminal throughput and longer bulk voyages would lift rates; its current stake in the terminal is not shown on this page.
