Work once again at Port Pier 2
What was once a common sight at Port of Anacortes Pier 2 is now extraordinary, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. This week the “Cook Strait” is taking on a load of petroleum coke from the Shell Refinery on March’s Point, but it has been months since the last petcoke load. Jobs associated with the petcoke shipments range from truck drivers to longshoremen. Prilled sulfur and petroleum coke are historically the main exports to pass through the port. In 2020, the port has moved 120,000 metric tons of product when it had projected 220,000. The revenue loss was about $2.5 million.
