ETS Raises Four Cranes at the Port
of Tacoma
At the Port of Tacoma, Everport Terminal Services
advanced efforts to raise four of its seven cranes to
130 feet above rail. The update will better position the
terminal to handle larger vessels in the future. Three
of the four cranes were raised during 2021, with the
fourth crane slated for raising in early 2022.
Meeting Labor Demands with
Additions to the Workforce
To meet the demands of cargo volumes, PMA added
over 200 registered workers to the workforce and
carried out numerous casual processing draws
throughout the Pacific Northwest. The efforts meant
working with more than 20 union locals throughout
the region, from Coos Bay to Olympia. Given the
demands of the cargo surge, growing the skilled
workforce quickly required collaboration and efficiency
across numerous ports.
