As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, "Tri-City" could refer to different regions in the United States, each potentially having its own port or ports. The most notable "Tri-City" regions in the U.S. are:

1. The Tri-Cities in Washington State, which include Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland.
2. The Tri-Cities in Tennessee, which include Kingsport, Johnson City, and Bristol.

However, when it comes to marine ports, the term "Tri-City" is not commonly used on a national or international level to denote a specific port. Ports are typically named after the specific city they are located in.

For the Tri-Cities in Washington: This area is situated along the Columbia River, which provides access to marine and inland waterway shipping. Notable port authorities include:

1. Port of Benton: Located in Richland, primarily a rail and barge port.
2. Port of Kennewick: Located in Kennewick, focusing on small business development and marina management.
3. Port of Pasco: One of the larger and more prominent ports, offering comprehensive shipping and logistics services, including a significant container terminal and warehousing facilities.

Port of Pasco Key Specifications:

• Location: Pasco, Washington, situated on the Columbia River.
• Facilities: Terminals for bulk commodities, a container terminal, warehousing and cold storage facilities.
• Depth: The Columbia River shipping channel leading to Pasco is maintained to a depth suitable for barge traffic.
• Cargo: Agricultural products, dry and liquid bulk commodities, and containerized goods.
• Connectivity: Excellent road and rail connections facilitating inland distribution throughout the Pacific Northwest.

For the Tri-Cities in Tennessee: This region is landlocked, thus there are no marine ports. Instead, logistics for this area primarily depend on rail and road transport. The area might utilize other nearby ports such as:

• Port of Chattanooga: For Tennessee residents needing access to river transport, Chattanooga on the Tennessee River offers shipping opportunities for bulk and containerized cargo.

If you had a specific port or more detailed information in mind regarding the "Tri-City," please provide additional context or clarify the region so I can offer more precise information.
