SSA Marine and the Northwest Seaport Alliance welcomed four ZPMC Super-Post Panamax Cranes to the Seattle Harbor marking a significant milestone in the Terminal 5 Modernization Project.
After spending several weeks traveling from Shanghai to the Pacific Northwest, the cranes concluded their journey through the Puget Sound to Elliott Bay on Sunday, June 13th. SSA Terminals is the owner and future operator of the cranes, which will be among the largest cranes on the West Coast. Standing 316 feet tall with a 240-foot outreach boom, each crane can lift 100 tons of cargo providing increased capacity and job opportunities for our region.

 The Northwest Seaport Alliance, alongside the Port of Seattle, Port of Tacoma, and Vancouver-Fraser Port Authority, have been named the Climate and Energy Award Runner-Up 2021 in the World Ports Sustainability Awards. This honor is connected to the ports’ work on the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy Collaborative Project.
On July 15th, the Northwest Seaport Alliance, Port of Seattle, and Port of Tacoma will be hosting a community webinar on the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy.
Adopted by the Managing Members in April, the updated strategy commits to an ambitious, comprehensive strategy to address the urgency of the climate change crisis and phase out seaport-related air emissions. The public is invited to provide feedback on draft implementation plans for the Northwest Ports Clean Air Strategy through this community webinar, and other engagement efforts during the upcoming months.
The Ports and the NWSA will use public feedback to refine their implementation plans, particularly by looking at which projects to tackle first and which strategies best serve public need.
