Abstract
SM Line Brings Weekly Container Service to the Port of PortlandOn November 19, the Port of Portland, OR, announced that the South Korea-based container carrier SM Line will bring weekly container shipping service to Portland.SM Line launched in 2017 and continues to expand its presence on the Asia-North America trade route to meet growing demand.The Port of Portland's Terminal 6 will be added to SM Line's existing rotation to the Pacific Northwest, which includes stops in Vancouver, BC, and Seattle, WA.This additional shipping opportunity will serve various containerized agricultural exports in the region, including grains, potatoes, peas, lentils, and hay.For additional information, see www.portofportland.com. Total Grain Inspections RecedeFor the week ending November 28, total inspections of grain (corn, wheat, and soybeans) for export from all major U.S. export regions reached 2.31 million metric tons (mmt).Total grain inspections were down 26 percent from the previous week, down 14 percent from last year and down 27 percent from the 3-year average.Inspections of each of the three major grains decreased notably from the previous week.Wheat inspections dropped 43 percent from week to week, while corn and soybeans dropped 30 and 21 percent, respectively, from the past week.Inspections of grain were down 11 percent from the previous week in the Mississippi Gulf, and were down 48 percent in the Pacific Northwest (PNW). Volume of Grain Moved by Barge Remains High but May Soon SlowFor the week ending November 30, 1.02 million tons of grain passed through the locks of the Mississippi River and major tributaries.This quantity surpassed last week's total as the highest for weekly volume in 2019 and was 52 percent higher than the same week last year.Shipments originating from the upper Mississippi River sent before the river closed may still be in transit, but the upper Mississippi is now closed to new shipments for the winter.This week (beginning December 1) is likely to be the last week that shipping will be December 5, 2019 Grain Transportation

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
