MSC pulls out of Seattle deal
Mediterranean Shipping Co. has pulled out of an agreement to start calling at the SSA Terminals-operated Terminal 18 at the Port of Seattle from next year, according to the Seattle Post Intelligencer.
The move was announced in May with MSC expected to contribute 220,000 TEUs in its first year at the port, helping to generate more than 300 jobs.
The Geneva, Switzerland-based carrier was also thought to be interested in a move to Seattle’s Terminal 30 in 2008, although there is now uncertainty whether it will be returned to container use, the newspaper said.
