This weekend, for the second time, Everett-based log supplier, Forest Marketing Enterprises, Inc. (FORMARK) will be delivering nearly 3.3 million board feet of logs to the Port of Everett to be loaded under deck of the ECL chartered ship. This shipment is the second of six total shipments for the year, of what is expected to be a multi-year business partnership.
President of FORMARK Eric Warren said, “The production from the longshoreman directly relates to our success in keeping the cargo coming in the future. This new partnership will benefit more than 250 jobs in the region and help keep the logs and forest products industry in Everett sustainable.”
ILWU Locals 32, 98,52 longshoremen will spend four days loading the debarked logs waterside at Pier 1 before they load the aerospace containers on the upper deck. The vessel will transit across the Pacific to Japan to offload the aerospace containers, and then journey to China to discharge the logs.
