Where most West Coast ports chase container volumes, Olympia (US OLM) deliberately does the opposite. As the southernmost harbour on Puget Sound, this Washington State port has built its business around breakbulk, heavy-lift and project cargo rather than boxes. Three deepwater berths totalling roughly 1,750 linear feet, an on-dock warehouse of about 76,000 square feet, a 140-tonne Gottwald mobile crane and on-dock rail let it handle forest products, bulk grain, steel pipe and oversized equipment. Weyerhaeuser ships raw logs from Northwest forests to Japan, China and Korea, while recent imports have included paper pulp, organic corn and gold ore; dairy cattle and locomotives have moved outbound. Truck and direct terminal rail connect the cargo to the regional hinterland. Shippers needing scheduled container services or standardised customs clearance are better served by the neighbouring Seattle-Tacoma gateway operated under the NWSA.
