Longshoremen load first log ship in Everett since 2002, March 2012
The cargo ship has been a visible presence at the Port of Everett the past few days, tied up just south of the Kimberly-Clark paper and pulp mills.
The shipment contains 5.2 million board feet, the equivalent of 1,300 truckloads of logs.
This is the first full log shipment the Port has handled since 2002, said John Mohr, the port’s executive director.
“We are returning to our historic roots,” he said.
