Seattle: First ship bunkered at Terminal 30


China Shipping vessel is the first to receive marine fuel at the Port of Seattle's new terminal.

The first vessel to receive marine fuel at the Port of Seattle’s new Terminal 30 arrived on Saturday, August 8.

China Shipping’s CSCL Jakarta tied up at the Terminal’s North Berth, where it discharged and loaded containers.

Port representative Mick Schultz confirmed to Bunker Index that the ship was also bunkered whilst at the berth.

Commenting on the launch of the new terminal, Charlie Sheldon, Managing Director of the Port of Seattle’s Seaport Division said “This is the culmination of several years of hard work by Port staff, SSA Terminals and China Shipping.

“We’re grateful to have SSA and China Shipping as partners and we look forward to a long, mutually prosperous relationship.”

The Port of Seattle invested nearly $50 million in the 70-acre, two-berth facility. China Shipping and SSA Terminals will operate the terminal in a joint venture under a long-term agreement.

China Shipping has called at the Port of Seattle since 1999. The carrier’s previous home in Seattle was at the Port’s Terminal 18. Construction of the terminal generated approximately 600 jobs and the facility will support 400 ongoing jobs related to cargo operations.
