Renovated Port of Everett terminal gets first cargo customer
EVERETT — The newly renovated South Terminal of the Port of Everett has welcomed its first cargo ship after a multi-year, multi-million-dollar project gave it more muscle and capacity.
On Wednesday afternoon, the Westwood Columbia, a 655-foot ship carrying aerospace components, consumer goods and industrial equipment, pulled into the South Terminal to unload.
The vessel has called at the port’s Pacific Terminal for many years, but it and other cargo carriers can now expect easier, faster service, port spokeswoman Cat Soper said.
“Now that we have fully functional cranes on South Terminal, this ship can be berthed at either terminal for loading and unloading,” Soper said.
