On Annette Island, the Tsimshian community of Metlakatla sits about 25 km south of Ketchikan in southeast Alaska and is supplied largely by barge. The City Barge Ramp, managed by Alaska Barge Line, handles containerised and roll-on/roll-off cargo, while the Alaska Marine Highway ferry MV Lituya links the island to Ketchikan. This is community resupply traffic rather than deep-sea shipping, with no ocean-going liner calls. Forwarders therefore consolidate Metlakatla-bound cargo at Ketchikan, the regional transfer point.
