Upcoming Events

APICS, the Port of Tacoma and Kocer Consulting and Engineering present a Best Practice Tour

See and Hear about how the Port of Tacoma is Growing and Changing

Bus tour, Lunch, Networking, and Presentation

Thursday, June 14^th at 10:30 am

The Port of Tacoma is critical to our local economy and a common link in the supply chain for our manufacturing and distribution communities.  The Port recently won a contract with major shipping consortium Grand Alliance which could boost volume and create the need for change. Port of Tacoma currently handles 70% of all waterborne commerce to Alaska from the lower 48 states. In whole, the Port owns more than 2,400 acres of land that are used for shipping terminal activity, warehousing, distributing, and manufacturing. The Port’s current objective is to make better use of the current terminals. That principle extends not only to major container terminals but to smaller port assets, warehouses and storage lots, log yards and vacant real estate. Join us in seeing how they are making it all work.
