Hanjin Shipping Co., Ltd. first called the Port of Seattle in 1979, sharing container terminal acreage with another steamship
line. In 1996, Hanjin Shipping Co., Ltd. chose Seattle’s Terminal 46 for its first dedicated facility. In March 1999, TTI received
International Standards Organization (ISO) 9002 registration for stevedore and terminal operations at Terminal 46, Seattle,
becoming the first ISO registered terminal in the Port of Seattle as well as the first ISO 9002 registered terminal in the entire
Puget Sound area. The current configuration of Terminal 46 was completed in November 2004, effectively becoming the most
modern and technologically advanced facility in the Port of Seattle, featuring three Super Post Panamax cranes capable of lifting
100 LTs and reaching over 22 rows of containers, as well as the latest in OCR and surveillance technologies
Turnaround time is crucial to our trucking customers. TTI differentiates itself by achieving the fastest turn times in the area.
Convenient freeway access, automated driver recognition through Optical Character Recognition portals, and 18 inbound/outbound
gates contribute to the terminal’s ability to provide consistent high performance.
A pre-check gate of eight inbound truck lanes-seven with scales, by pass lanes for intermodal transfer trucks and a trouble
resolution facility save truckers valuable time and help expedite their throughput process.
At Terminal 46, all local import cargo is landed directly onto chassis and located for immediate delivery by using mobile data
terminals. Export containers are grounded until vessel loading.
The majority of Terminal 46’s import container volume is intermodal and the facility is located conveniently across the BNSF-operated Seattle International Gateway rail yard.
Once discharged off the vessel, intermodal containers are immediately delivered to rail yard for the availability to customer and rapid transfer to inland destinations
