US AXK Port (Adak Naval Air Station) – Terminals, Draft, Agents

About This Seaport

The name still says Naval Air Station, but Adak has been a civilian port since the Navy's departure in 2002 — a year-round, ice-free deep-water harbour in the Aleutians run via the Aleut Corporation. Its role centres on fisheries support, transshipment and oilfield services, built around a fully equipped cargo pier and a fuelling pier. Adak Fisheries processes Pacific cod, pollock, mackerel, halibut and snow and king crab, while the port handles ship-to-ship transfers of frozen seafood. In March 2026, NOAA Fisheries issued an incidental harassment authorisation for the Pier 5 improvements project. April 2026 brought further attention with reporting on "Adak 2.0": the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act allocated $115 million toward reopening the base's infrastructure, drawing renewed private-sector interest in the port and landholdings of the Aleut Corporation. Fuel, water, provisions, cold storage and crew exchanges serve the Seattle- and Alaska-based fishing fleets. There is no hinterland: Adak is a remote island roughly 1,900 km west of the Alaska Peninsula. For general cargo and containers, Dutch Harbor/Unalaska is the principal Aleutian port, with Kodiak as a further option.
