Nordholm Companies completed disassembly and removal of the second container crane at the Bellingham Shipping Terminal (BST) last week. The work used BST’s upgraded heavy-lift area, which allows the terminal to support regional maritime projects like crane positioning, offloading, and disassembly.
Three additional, smaller decommissioned cranes are scheduled to arrive by barge from the Port of Seattle on June 1. Because the cranes must be offloaded during high tide, some overnight activity is expected, and nearby residents and businesses may notice increased lighting and noise. Disassembly is expected to take approximately three months.
