Scheduled for completion in 2004, the facility will be utilized by Evergreen Marine Corp., which is relocating operations from Terminal 4 to the Pierce County Terminal.
According to Brendan Dugan, the Port's Senior Director of Marketing and Trade, the 171-acre Phase 1 terminal will have an annual capacity of more than 480,000 container lifts -- or approximately 840,000 TEUs (twenty-foot equivalent units). When Phase 2 is complete, the facility will be 237 acres total with an annual capacity of approximately 1.2 million TEUs. The Port of Tacoma finished 2002 with a record volume of 1.44 million TEUs.
Located at the terminus of the 2.65-mile-long Blair Waterway, the planned six-crane, facility will feature two linear berths (approximately 2,260 feet long), a container yard, a dedicated intermodal yard and associated infrastructure. If required, there is flexibility for a third berth at a later date.
