Port MacKenzie

Port MacKenzie consists of a 500' bulkhead barge dock at -20’ mean lower low water (MLLW), a 1,200’ long deep-draft dock at -60’ MLLW, and 8,940 acres (14 square miles) of adjacent uplands which are available for commercial lease. There is also a filter rock ramp adjacent to the south wingwall which is useable two hours before high tide until two hours after high tide for vessels with ramps. This allows for heavy equipment to be driven on/off the dock. The dock has a gravel surface with a load capacity of 1,000 lbs. /sq ft. The deep-draft dock is equipped with a 5’ wide conveyor system capable of loading bulk commodities at 2,000 tons/hour.

Port MacKenzie is the logical area for commercial and industrial expansion adjacent to Anchorage.

Port MacKenzie is the only Southcentral port site not constrained by urbanization. The 14 square miles of uplands are dedicated solely for commercial/industrial development. Three-phase electrical power, telephone, fax, and internet are all available within the Port District.

A ferry, bridge and railroad spur are all programmed for Port MacKenzie. The ferry is scheduled to start operating between Anchorage and Port MacKenzie in the summer of 2010.

Dockage rates are $.60/ft./day for vessels up to 200' in length, $.80/ft./day for vessels 201' to 300', $1.00/ft./day for vessels 301' to 400', and $1.20/ft./day for vessels over 400' in length.
