Abstract:

Infrastructure improvements ranging from the extension and strengthening of an existing wharf to the construction of an intermodal rail yard are turning a 30-year-old cargo-handling facility at Port of Tacoma into the largest West Coast container Terminal north of Los Angeles. (This article was adapted from the paper Transforming Pierce County Terminal from a General Cargo Terminal to a Modern Intermodal Container Terminal, which was presented at Ports 2004, a conference held in Houston in May 2004 under the sponsorship of the Coast, Oceans, Ports, and Rivers Institute of ASCE.)
