Terminal Operations: Bellingham

Cargo Vessel Set to Arrive at the Bellingham Shipping Terminal

The Port of Bellingham Shipping Terminal received its first regular cargo shipment in more than 17 years with the October 3 docking of MV Diana Bolten.

The 38,273-dwt bulk carrier arrived with 10,700 metric tons of organic corn and soybeans destined for local markets.

Local longshore union (ILWU) workers offloaded cargo and the ship departed Bellingham by the end of the week.
"The Bellingham Shipping Terminal is open for business," said Port Commission President Dan Robbins. "The port has made significant investments to modernize this job-creating facility and bring back working waterfront jobs which were lost when Georgia-Pacific shut down its pulp and paper mill. We are excited to welcome the MV Diana Bolten to our port and look forward to regular shipping activity in the years to come."
