Ports & Pathways
Where Land Meets Water, and Logistics Begin
Here at Alaska Logistics, we operate from strategic ports across the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. These launch points are more than just docks—they're lifelines to communities that can’t be reached by road. Below, you’ll find the key ports that power our mission.
Port of Tacoma
The Port of Tacoma is one of the busiest deep-water ports on the West Coast, handling over 70% of all marine freight bound for Alaska. With unmatched rail and highway connectivity, it's the beating heart of our logistics chain.
From our dedicated staging center just minutes from the terminal, Alaska Logistics coordinates:
Seasonal barge and container shipments to Western Alaska
Consolidation of freight from domestic and international suppliers
Load-outs of modular homes, fuel, heavy equipment, and infrastructure materials
Streamlined deliveries direct to villages, bypassing Anchorage for speed and cost-efficiency
Port of Seward
The Port in Seward is our deep-water link to Southcentral Alaska, offering direct rail-to-marine integration. At the Seward Freight Dock, Alaska Logistics stages barge shipments bound for Nome, Bethel, Dillingham, and beyond.
What makes Seward strategic:
Seamless freight transloading between rail, truck, and marine
Seasonal barge service to Western Alaska
Ideal for modular housing, heavy equipment, and village-bound freight
Complements our Tacoma operations with flexible Northern routing
Port of Dillingham
Dillingham is a critical gateway to Bristol Bay and the surrounding river communities, where timing, experience, and shallow-water access make all the difference. For more than two decades, Alaska Logistics Services has supported this region with dependable marine freight solutions designed for Alaska’s toughest operating conditions.
Dillingham Operations Include:
-
Seasonal Barge Deliveries from Tacoma to Dillingham and Bristol Bay communities
-
River & Shallow-Water Access supporting communities beyond traditional dock infrastructure
-
Construction & Project Cargo for housing, tribal, commercial, and public infrastructure
-
Fuel, Bulk Freight & Time-Sensitive Logistics during the short ice-free shipping season
Port of Bethel
Bethel sits about 70 river miles inland from the Bering Sea on the Kuskokwim River, making it the primary marine freight hub for the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. As the gateway to dozens of villages scattered throughout western Alaska’s river and delta system, Alaska Logistics Services has long anchored operations here to reliably move cargo where roads don’t reach.
Bethel Operations Include:
-
Seasonal Barge Deliveries from Tacoma and Seward up the Kuskokwim River to Bethel and surrounding communities
-
River & Shallow-Dock Transfers to support villages without deep-water port infrastructure
-
Regional Freight Distribution & Transshipment serving over 50 Delta communities
-
Project & Infrastructure Support including housing modules, fuel, and critical supplies during the ice-free season
Port of Nome
Nome isn’t just a destination—it’s a launchpad to some of Alaska’s most remote communities. For over 23 years, Alaska Logistics has operated here to reach villages without docks, roads, or runways.
Nome Operations Include:
Seasonal Barge Deliveries from Tacoma to Nome and outlying communities
Lightering & Beach Landings using shallow-draft vessels for shore access
Construction Support including modular housing, tribal and state infrastructure delivery
Fuel & Emergency Logistics during the limited ice-free season
