APL ships will be arriving in Unalaska as planned, despite the recent fall of their crane. The ships will be loaded and unloaded at the city dock using the Horizon Lines crane. … “Maersk brings their ships on Monday and Tuesday, APL typically brings theirs on Wednesday, and ours usually shows up on Friday,” said a Horizon Lines terminal representative. … The two companies are still working out financial arrangements for the use of Horizon equipment. Both companies use union workers, so they will continue to pull from the same pool. Horizon will probably continue to employ crane operators who are familiar with operating their crane. The first APL ship is scheduled to arrive Wednesday at 9 pm.
