“As the small to medium size shippers
become increasingly invisible to the carriers, CRSA is a vehicle where these shippers can pool their volumes for better leverage
and bargaining power for obtaining favorable freight rates.”
--- Eileen Murche, Port of Portland
“I absolutely love CRSA’s
service and the rates are awesome. The hidden benefit of CRSA is being able to utilize
the pool of knowledge and experience that the administrators offer. I feel more at ease knowing CRSA represents all of the members’ interests and is in essence 'the voice of the
members'.”
--- Teresa Feliu
of Dolan Designs/A-Boy Supply Company.
“By combining the members’
cargos, CRSA provides us with extremely attractive freight rates and terms which in turn harkens for a very sweet future for
us. Having CRSA as a resource takes a burden off of me and I know where to turn
for assistance as they are very good at explaining things or getting me answers from the steamship lines.
CRSA does a good job of keeping the members aware of the changes in the shipping
world.”
--- Darol Brown, Quadra Chemicals
“Columbia
Sportswear is proud to support the Association and the Port of Portland in any way we can.
CRSA offers a viable option for smaller shippers who cannot negotiate cost effective ocean rates on their own.”

Columbia Sportswear
