US West Coast


The US West Coast business unit located in Seattle has been in operation since 1995 when Western Bulk acquired the Jebsen Bulk Pool.

Being geographically and strategically well placed in the busy Pacific Northwest, the Seattle office assures day-to-day contact with numerous industries, cargo owners, trading houses, and brokers in USA, Canada and Mexico. The Seattle office operates on average about 5-8 vessels.

The Seattle office also looks after the day-to-day operations of all Western Bulk vessels calling the West coast from Panama to British Columbia/Alaska and Hawaii. Commodities carried are mainly steel products, grains, agricultural products, and coal/coke.
