Upgrades Continue at Alaska Fishing Ports

From Southeast Alaska to Bristol Bay to Dutch Harbor the process of upgrading ports continues in 2018, in an effort to make these facilities more accommodating, efficient and safer for the multi-million-dollar seafood industry.

At the Port of Bristol Bay at Naknek, bracing for a strong run of the bay’s famed wild sockeye salmon, port managers are busy working on the gravel surface to control dust and uplands improvements, and planning to have the entire port area fenced in from the highway to the river by the end of July, says Harbormaster Robert “Herk” McDermott.

The current Homer port is not dredged deep enough to accommodate larger vessels, like oil rig support vessels and tug escort vessel. New facilities would allow for moving larger vessels out of the small boat harbor and good moorings at the large vessel harbor for tugs, freight vessels, and fish and wildlife vessels.
