Behind the UN/LOCODE US PTU lies not a cargo terminal but Platinum, a village of a few dozen residents on Goodnews Bay in southwest Alaska. Supplies arrive seasonally by tug and shallow-draft barge, typically routed from Seattle via the regional hub of Bethel some 110 km to the northeast. There are no container services, customs clearance or terminal facilities here, so freight relevance for forwarders is very limited. Commercial shipments to the region move through Bethel or the Port of Anchorage.
