The members of the Grand Alliance (GA) – Hapag-Lloyd, Nippon Yusen Kaisha (NYK) and Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) – have decided to move their Pacific North West (PNW) operations to the Port of Tacoma, Washington state.

The GA had been a long-time supporter of the Port of Seattle in Washington, but decided to shift in response to the value proposition offered by Tacoma. The GA’s new home will be at the Washington United Terminal in Tacoma (WUT). The GA will have three PNW services calling weekly at the WUT.
