Marine Facilities

The Port of Kodiak is home to Alaska's largest and most diverse fishing fleet. It has more than 650 boat slips and three commercial piers that can handle vessels up to 1,000 feet.

Kodiak is also a vital link in the regional transportation network. As the hub of the Gulf of Alaska container logistics system, Kodiak serves Southwestern Alaska communities with consumer goods and provides outbound access to world fish markets. Regularly scheduled container ships operate between Kodiak and the Pacific Northwest, and between Kodiak and the Far East. Kodiak is a key link for Alaskan Coastal communities.
