When the vessel stops at Bellingham and Pier 90 in Seattle, the crew will offload a portion of the cargo with the help of our dockworkers. Then the vessel proceeds to our Salmon Bay terminal on the ship canal, where the crew will spend a couple of hours prepping the cargo gear for offload, getting garbage off the ship, etc. At this point, the voyage is completed, and the crew is free to go home.

Generally a crew will have between three and five days off if they are sailing again on the next voyage. During this time, the entire crew usually goes home, though crew members sailing on the next voyage can stay aboard.
