Marine Electrical Service & Technical Parts Supply at the Port of Seattle
The Port of Seattle, operating jointly with Tacoma under the Northwest Seaport Alliance (NWSA), handles a major share of trans-Pacific container traffic to Puget Sound. The recently modernized Terminal 5 in West Seattle is dredged to 55 ft with shore-power infrastructure for the largest ULCVs on the SE Asia and China services. Container operations also run through Terminal 18 (Husky Terminal), Terminal 30 and Terminal 46, while Pier 66 / Pier 91 host Alaska-season cruise turnarounds for Norwegian, Princess, Holland America, Royal Caribbean and Carnival from May through September. Most electrical attendances happen alongside in the calm Elliott Bay waters. Common faults: Alaska-season cruise turnaround electrical work (HVAC, PMS, lifeboat winches, emergency lighting), ULCV shore-power high-voltage connection issues at the new T5, BWTS UV and electro-chlorination work on Asia services, and engine-room monitoring sensor work on cold-region ballast water operations. Class attendance for ABS, DNV, Lloyd's and ClassNK is routine.

What we typically get called for at Seattle.
Alaska-season cruise ship lifeboat winch motor failure at Pier 91
Princess-class vessel discovers stbd-aft lifeboat winch electric motor will not lower during pre-departure muster drill. We swap the brake assembly and rewind the failed lowering contactor, perform full SOLAS lower-recover test with USCG witness, and clear vessel for Saturday turnaround.
ULCV BWTS electro-chlorination cell fouling at Terminal 5
Trans-Pacific ULCV reports BWTS electro-chlorination cell tripping on low TRO during cold-water ballast at Elliott Bay. We isolate, dismantle and acid-clean the cell electrodes, restore TRO output to spec and update the BWMS log before next trans-Pacific departure.
