Sounds to me like the reporter is mixing up names of ethanol companies. In the article the reporter refers to Columbia Pacific Bio-Refinery, which is adjacent to the docks in question. He's interchanging the name with Pacific Ethanol Columbia. Columbia Pacific Bio-Refinery is owned by Global Partners LP. The plant is located west and downstream from Portland, adjacent to the Port of St Helens docks the author is referring to. Considering their main business, it's no wonder they would be very motivated to fund dock development.

Global Partners LP

Panamax ships are already able to navigate further upriver in the main channel, to the Port of Portland. Adding Panamax terminals at the Port of St Helens would provide additional facilities between the Port of Longview, which is further downstream, and the Port of Portland.

Considering the author put Pacific Ethanol Columbia in the title, if nothing else it might result in some speculation buying on Monday by unwary investors. Anyone subscribed to Pacific Ethanol news alerts probably got this article.
