Abandoned since the 1940s, the dock is crumbling and effectively inaccessible from land, with no commercial cargo or container capability. Shippers serving the Juneau area use the city's own berths and the Auke Bay cargo facilities instead.","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/information/seaports/dupont-port-us-pup","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/seaports/en/dupont-port-us-pup","source":null,"provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Freight Academy","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"Dupont · (UN/LOCODE: US PUP) · United States · Very Small"}
