Newspapers In Education and The Washington Maritime Industry Present

Maritime 101: Celebrating our Five Star Working Waterfronts Today, our maritime industry has never been stronger—or more important to our region. That’s why Newspapers In Education and the maritime industry have teamed up to provide an inside look at our thriving working waterfronts.

Around here, maritime matters.

Washington state’s maritime industry is rooted in the state’s rich history of timber production, its location as a trade hub, and its proximity to some of the world’s most productive fisheries. And we’ve always been the primary gateway to Alaska and Asia.

Our maritime industry is annually worth $30 billion to the state economy, according to a 2013 study by the Economic Development Council of Seattle & King County and the Workforce Development Council of Seattle and King County. In 2012, the industry directly employed 57,700 workers, with an average salary of $70,800—nearly $20,000 above the state’s median salary!

Washington is also the most trade-dependent state in the United States. Today, four in ten jobs in Washington are tied to international trade, according to the Port of Seattle.

And the maritime industry is thriving!

Early this year, the largest cargo ship to visit the United States arrived at The Northwest Seaport Alliance’s Terminal 18 in Seattle. The CMA CMG Benjamin Franklin holds more than double the cargo of most container ships calling at Seaport Alliance terminals, and represents the type of mega-ships entering the trans-Pacific trade.

How big is this mega-ship? • Length: 1,310 feet long, longer than the height of two Space Needles

• Width: 177 feet, wider than the base of Louvre Pyramid CMA CMG Benjamin Franklin arrives at The Northwest Seaport Alliance’s Terminal 18 in Seattle. • Container capacity: 18,000 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs), Photo by Don Wilson, Port of Seattle. laid end-to-end, would stretch from Tacoma to Everett (68 miles)

The growth of the industry is not just in shipping. You can see the strength of the industry at our shipyards, cruise ship terminals, Fishermen’s Terminal, Shilshole Bay Marina, ferry

Presenting Sponsors

Tug Boats Does your family’s car have a lot of horsepower? Nearly 7,000 horsepower? Sponsors Does it have the strength to stop another vehicle that outweighs it by over 100,000 tons? Can your vehicle spin on a dime? Tugboats such as those used by Crowley Maritime in Puget Sound have all of these capabilities. Crowley owns and operates some of the most advanced tugboats in the world! Supporting Sponsors

Most of the things you use every day—clothes, computers, TVs, cars, gasoline—are delivered by ships that require tugboats to assist them to dock safely. Think of a bus trying to park in a crowded mall parking lot. Now imagine that the pavement is continuously moving. That is what it is like for ships trying Industry Partners to make deliveries. Experienced crews and strong, nimble tugboats keep our local waters safe, and help get those important goods to the docks so they can be delivered to local stores.

Scholarships at a variety of maritime academies and colleges and universities Media Partners across the country – including several on the West Coast— scholarships are available through Crowley for students who will become our next generation of leaders. Learn more at www.crowley.com/scholarships.
