Tacoma/Seattle take a slide

Increased vessel calls and intermodal volume coupled with diverted cargo led to strong August container volumes at NWSA.

The NWSA reports an 11.5% year-to-date cargo volume increase to 1,557,762 TEU, driven by voyage consistency and increased vessel calls.

The Northwest Seaport Alliance reported strong container volumes in April, with significant growth in international exports and imports, totalling 258,688 TEU.

NWSA international exports and imports increase, with March container volumes hitting 261,495 TEU, up 8.5% from 2023, while YTD volumes rise by 2.9%.

When implementing the incentive program, the NWSA will closely monitor the program’s performance and review its potential continuation in 2025.

Seattle is gearing up to accommodate the rising influx of breakbulk and automobile volumes with the inauguration of Terminal 46.
