The Port of Seattle Commission took steps toward securing a partner to develop and operate a new, single berth cruise facility at Terminal 46 by issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ).
The cruise terminal RFQ is the first step in a partnership selection process that will support the completion of a new facility for the 2022 cruise season. Early estimates are that a cruise terminal could be constructed for around $200 million. A public-private-partnership approach to build the terminal will have the Port contributing half that cost. Responses to the RFQ are due April 18.
This solicitation is the initial step of the process through which the Port intends to enter into a long-term agreement with a private partner to undertake the development of a new, one large-vessel berth cruise homeport terminal facility at Terminal 46.
The opportunity to explore using 29 acres at the north end of Terminal 46 for a new cruise terminal and single berth has come forward now as the Northwest Seaport Alliance works to realize its strategic plan of realigning international maritime cargo operations at Terminal 5 near West Seattle and Terminal 18 on Harbor Island.
The City Council of Kansas City, Missouri have approved an ordinance that authorises KCI-Edgemoore to develop a new terminal at Kansas City International Airport (KCI). This confirms the Edgemoor Infrastructure & Real Estate-led team as the City’s development partner and enables the commencement of construction.
