The Port of Seattle has announced its budget for 2024, outlining plans to invest over $85 million in the extension of shore power and the development of a new maritime startup accelerator. According to reports from the Puget Sound Business Journal, these initiatives are part of the Port’s larger capital improvement plan which also includes renovations at Fisherman’s Terminal and upgrades to pier infrastructure.
Additionally, there are plans for industrial space expansion at Terminal 91 and major projects at Sea-Tac airport such as a $1.1 billion renovation project for concourses S and C. “Our vision for the future port is focused on making bold investments that will maintain our position as a competitive global gateway,” stated Sam Cho, President of the Port Commission.
These investments aim to achieve “5 Star” status for Sea-Tac airport while also striving towards becoming North America’s cleanest and greenest port.
