NWSA handles largest box ship at Tacoma Harbor.

In September , the Maersk Alette, a colossal 16,592 TEU container ship, docked at Husky Terminal in Tacoma, making it the largest vessel ever to call at the Northwest Seaport Alliance’s South Harbor. What’s even more exciting is that the Maersk Alette is also the first dual-fuel ship capable of running on green methanol to visit this gateway. Kristin Ang, President of the Port of Tacoma Commission and Co-Chair of NWSA, expressed her enthusiasm, saying, "Congratulations to Maersk, Nike, the Ulsan Port Authority, and all our industry partners who are pushing for cleaner fuel alternatives. This vessel is a clear sign of the strides we're making in sustainable shipping technologies." The Maersk Alette is the fifth ship in Maersk's fleet to run on green methanol, underscoring the industry’s shift towards reducing carbon emissions. Green methanol, which can be made from renewable sources like biomass or even wind and solar power, offers a significant opportunity to lower the carbon footprint of shipping, according to NWSA.
