Port of Tacoma opens refurbished terminal to serve domestic market
The Port of Tacoma and Alaska-based trucking firm Carlile Transportation Systems will jointly open a new terminal in the port next week as the port seeks to build on its domestic market.
The new 16-acre terminal, four times the size of the terminal it replaced, will have 80 cross-dock stations that allow trucks to deliver freight on one side and load up on the other, Carlile said in a statement Wednesday.
While international trade is growing substantially at the port, 30 percent of its business still comes from trade with Alaska. The new facility will employ 110 people.
