Almost 20 years after becoming the first U.S. port to set up a presence on the World Wide Web, the Port of Tacoma this month launched a mobile-friendly website with enhanced capabilities.
The website, at www.portoftacoma.com, has undergone a number of upgrades since its 1995 launch to take advantage of advancing technology. This latest version features interactive maps and databases of facilities, supply chain service providers and available properties, as well as sharper search capabilities.
It continues to provide access to commission meetings streamed live and subscriptions to news, job announcements, cargo statistics, contract opportunities and more. Find the full list of available topics at www.portoftacoma.com/subscribe.
The Port also engages customers and community members through social media on Facebook at www.facebook.com/portoftacoma, Twitter at www.twitter.com/portoftacoma, YouTube at www.youtube/PortTacoma and Flickr at www.flickr.com/portoftacoma.
