Founded in 1898 by a San Francisco company as a cod-fishing station, Sand Point has stayed true to that origin. The harbour on Popof Island, near the entrance to the Bering Sea, supports the largest commercial fishing fleet in the Aleutian region, and seafood — cod, pollock, salmon, halibut — is the real cargo crossing its quays. Supplies arrive on Coastal Transportation's weekly vessel from Seattle and by air freight rather than through any container line, and there is no scheduled international customs operation here. With a cargo pier around 9 m deep, the port serves fishing and supply craft; the island hinterland is small and not road- or rail-linked to the mainland. Shippers needing container or breakbulk handling in the region should look to Dutch Harbor/Unalaska or Kodiak.
