January 2024 Sailing Update

Good day, Coastal Transportation Customers/Vendors,

We hope you had a safe and enjoyable holiday.

We wanted to send a quick reminder memo of our sailings this month as we go through the final lock closure this season.

Our next sailing is Friday, January 12th (Coastal Standard 68):

  • We will be receiving all freight at our normal terminal in Ballard from Tuesday, 1/2 through Thursday 1/11 
  • FRZ and HAZ items should be delivered 2 days prior to sailing and CHL the day before sailing.

The Coastal Navigator 226 sailing on January 26th will be out of Seatac Marine Terminal and should be our final sailing out of that location this season.

  • All freight should be directed to deliver there from Tuesday 1/16 through Thursday 1/25 
  • FRZ and HAZ items should be delivered 2 days prior to sailing and CHL the day before sailing.
  • Small packages via UPS, FedEx, Amazon, etc. should still be sent to our normal terminal in Ballard.

After Friday 1/26 all freight should be delivered to our Ballard terminal. Weekly sailings will resume starting with our February 9th sailing.

We would like to THANK all of you for your continued trust and support with the Ballard Locks closure this season. We know going back and forth between locations was confusing at times but we appreciate your understanding and cooperation to make it as smooth as possible.

We look forward to what 2024 will bring.

Happy New Year!

Coastal Transportation Management Team
