Facility information
Seattle/Tacoma Terminal and Rail Ramp Information

Match the release process to the named facility
Identify the exact marine terminal or rail ramp, then provide its release, appointment, equipment, receiver, and return instructions.
Marine terminal or rail ramp
Confirm the exact facility, steamship line or rail provider, container or unit number, release, and LFD or available date.
Appointment and equipment
Provide appointment status, container size, weight, chassis source, rail equipment, and any reefer, tri-axle, or other requirement.
Receiver and closeout
Add the delivery address, receiver window, unload or drop method, empty or equipment return, and final contact.
Facility instructions control access and closeout
Facility schedules, gate or ramp appointments, vessel and train timing, equipment supply, and return instructions can change. Dispatch confirms the current requirements for the named facility.
Use the instructions for the named facility
Marine terminals and rail ramps do not share one release or equipment process. Use the current booking, delivery order, or rail instructions to identify the facility before dispatch evaluates pickup and closeout.
Marine-terminal and rail-ramp services
Use the named facility and its current release, equipment, receiver, and closeout instructions.
Why does the exact terminal or rail ramp matter?
The named facility controls release, appointment access, pickup instructions, equipment rules, and the first step of the drayage plan.
Instruction to follow: Saved references remain secondary to the current terminal, rail, steamship-line, or equipment-provider instruction. Conflicting facility information must be confirmed before dispatch.
