APM Terminals has announced that its Tacoma operations came to an end on September 30, 2017, as part of its portfolio optimization plans and that the lease is now with Seattle-based terminal operator SSA Marine.
Newly managed operations at the US Washington state-based terminal began on October 2, 2017, after SSA Marine formed a new joint venture with SSAT.
SSAT, partly owned by Pacific container shipping line Matson, manages the carrier’s container stevedoring and terminal services on the US West Coast.
