The Port of Tacoma’s terminals handled 617,076 container units through April. That compares with 458,477 in 2012.
Much of the credit for those bigger numbers goes to the Grand Alliance, a consortium of four shipping lines that moved to the Port of Tacoma from the Port of Seattle last July. The four container lines, NYK, OOCL, Hapag-Lloyd and Zim, share ships and capacity in the transPacific container trade.

BHP’s not-yet-final plan for a mine near Jansen, Saskatchewan, that would produce 8 million tonnes annually, would change the global supply and demand picture so dramatically that Russia-based Uralkali would rein in its own expansion plans if BHP goes ahead, Chief Executive Vladislav Baumgertner said in an email exchange with Reuters this week.
Uralkali is the second major potash producer in a week to highlight BHP’s decision as pivotal to its own expansion plans, as miners aim to avoid a glut of the pink or white crop nutrient, which is produced mainly in Canada and Russia.
U.S.-based producer Mosaic Co told Reuters last week that it would reconsider a decision to shelve its Canadian potash expansion if BHP scuttles Jansen.
