01 Sep 2007
America’s Port of Tacoma has announced plans to build a $300m, 168 acre container terminal for NYK subsidiary, Yusan Terminal Tacoma. The move brings Yusen Terminal Tacoma to the Pacific Northwest for the first time in a terminal that will feature up to eight super post-panamax container cranes, have an annual capacity of 1.4m-1.8m teu and include 731.5 metres of berth space.
Peter Keller, president of Tokyo-based NYK Line North America, said: "It was important for us to make a long-term decision about our growth. The Port of Tacoma offers growth capacity, a robust road and rail system and strong community support.”
