Regional Report: Terminal 5 Sets the Stage for Return Nearly a decade since it was last functional as a major container terminal, SSA's Terminal 5 at the Port of Seattle made strong progress toward its reopening in early 2022.

In June, SSA welcomed four of the largest cranes on the West Coast to the terminal, a key milestone in the modernization project. Oregon Ports Handle Diverted Containers, Significant Volumes in Logs and Break Bulk Cargo After not handling cargo for nearly two years, Terminal 6 at the Port of Portland stepped up to help meet the demands of the sustained West Coast container volume surge.

In addition, ports in and around the Columbia River maintained significant volumes in logs and break-bulk cargo.
