Port

The Port of Dillingham stands as a pivotal regional hub catering to numerous villages in southwest Alaska. It provides an extensive array of amenities including docking facilities, a boat yard, and comprehensive marine services tailored to the needs of commercial fishing, cargo, and recreational vessels. This port plays a vital role within the Nushagak Bay region, boasting a central dock, a harbor, and two supplementary boat ramps positioned at Kanakanak Beach and Wood River landing.

Yearly, from the arrival of spring to the cusp of autumn, the dedicated dock personnel handle the unloading of millions of pounds of freight. Beyond its cargo functions, the dock assumes a significant role as a primary assembly point for the bountiful salmon fisheries of Bristol Bay.

Distinguished as the sole sheltered harbor in Bristol Bay, the boat harbor guarantees secure mooring for a fleet exceeding 400 Bristol Bay gillnetters and set netters. The comprehensive services  encompass access to potable water, disposal facilities for waste oil and refuse, crane services catering to the fleet, and the convenience of an ice machine for ice sales.
