Port MacKenzie recently expanded its barge dock from 6.5 acres to 14.7 acres. The barge dock consists of a 500' bulkhead at -20’ mean lower low water (MLLW), a 1,200’ long deep-draft dock at -60’ MLLW, and 9,033 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 one hour before high tide until one hour 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 fall of 2012.
