Port of Seattle Proposed Cruise Terminal

NWSA Terminal 46 Marine Cargo Operations

TERMINAL 46 CRUISE TERMINAL DEVELOPMENT

• Analysis of the cruise market and cruise ship deployment supports the need of a fourth berth to meet the demand for Port of Seattle cruise services.

• A cruise terminal requires a deep-water berth, a building to process passengers, ground transportation area, long-term parking for cruise passengers, associated utilities, and connection to the local transportation system.

• The facility would occupy the northern 29 acres of the overall 86.5-acre terminal. The remainder of the site would be maintained as a marine cargo facility and administrative use.

The Port of Seattle is proposing to develop a new cruise terminal at Terminal 46 as part of a flexible marine transportation facility which will continue to support cargo and other marine operations.

TERMINAL 46 CRUISE TERMINAL DEVELOPMENTPurposeThe proposed cruise terminal would add the capacity needed to accommodate the growing demand for Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and West Coast cruises, which can no longer be met by the three berths at the Port’s two existing terminals (Terminal 91 and Pier 66).

In Spring 2019, the Port Commission adopted the Cruise Business Development Principles to guide its cruise business and its engagement with partners and stakeholders in the operation of existing and potential new cruise facilities, including the proposed facility at Terminal 46. The Cruise Business Development Principles seek to:

• Maximize the use of the Port’s deep-water facilities and industrial lands to serve maritime industrial uses

• Expand economic, cultural and community benefits within cruise operations and development

• Support financial sustainability of the Port of Seattle

• Incorporate leading edge environmental stewardship and sustainability practices and facilities that can exceed existing regulations

• Facilitate improved transportation mobility of people and goods in the region

• Provide consistent excellence in customer service to strengthen Seattle’s role as the West Coast’s premier cruise port

Century Agenda• The new terminal will support the Port’s Century

agenda goal to double the economic value of the cruise traffic to Washington state. Growing our cruise business will support the advancement of our region as a leading tourism destination and business gateway

• The new facility will also support economic opportunities for small business and women and minority business enterprise growth

Business Plan Objectives
