The Port of Tacoma executive director’s job is in question following an announcement last week that the port canceled its plans to build a multi-million dollar shipping terminal on the Blair Waterway. … NYK Line – the company that signed a lease with the port to build an ambitious shipping terminal – said last week that the company still plans to come to Tacoma, but will use an existing site. … The global recession has taken a hit on the port’s business, tanking its cargo volume and shrinking its business. The agency cut its staff by nearly 15 percent as a result.
