Hello, this is a great video of one of our tugs in action. Where can we get in touch for a request?

Josh,

Sweet Video, I have wanted to shoot ship video in the Tacoma area for a while now.  Was some of the footage shot from Theas Park with the Mill, the chip pile, and the tanks in the background.

And the ship assist footage at the terminal was that shot from Sitcum Way or East 11th Street?

As I stated earlier I have been wanting to shoot maritime footage out of the Port of Tacoma, but just like Seattle, the facilities look to be much more enclosed by port property.  

On the Columbia the waterfront is much more open, and all of the ship assists at the Port of Longview and even the Port of Portland comes from either public parks or public land located on the waterfront.

Like I said this was an awesome video, and you did a heck of a job shooting footage.

Thanks for posting.

John
