Stevedoring Services of America Inc.
 PROFILE
"Stevedoring" is a romantic-sounding way to say heavy lifting, which Stevedoring Services of America (SSA) does a lot of. As one of the world's largest stevedoring firms, SSA loads and unloads ships at ports and terminals from Seattle to New Zealand. The company handles a variety of cargo including lumber, scrap metal, paper products, and cars. It also provides rail-yard services and warehousing, and it offers shipment tracking. With Transportación Marítima Mexicana, the company has a joint venture to develop and operate ports throughout Mexico. Founded the 1880s, the firm has been owned by the Smith and Hemingway families since 1949; CEO Jon Hemingway is the third generation of his family to head the company.
