Zidell Marine

Portland OR

Most recent update: September 30, 2020.

Zidell Marine started life in 1946 when Emery Zidell bought the former Commercial Iron Works yard just south of Portland's Ross Island Bridge and renamed it Zidell Ship Dismantling. It quickly became the largest shipbreaker in the U.S., scrapping 336 oceangoing ships in the course of the next 30 years. In 1960, as the scrapping business began to slow, Zidell started building barges on the same site. In 2013, Zidell announced its intention to redevelop the 33-acre site and the yard closed in 2018. Visit the company at zidell.com and see the site from the air on Google here.
