Terminal 91 Berth 6 and 8 Redevelopment

Redeveloping Berths 6 and 8, and providing over 800 feet of additional moorage will help ensure the long-term viability of the Port as the home to the North Pacific Fishing Fleet while improving the marine environment by removing creosote timber pilings.

Project Overview

This project redeveloped Berths 6 and 8 along the northeast side of Pier 90. Improvements include pile replacement, a new wharf structure, a new float system, bulkhead improvements, and office consolidation for operations, fishing and industry customers. The new berths are equipped with shore power for fishing and industrial vessels. Key aspects of the project are:

• Demolition of over 62,000 square feet of condemned or load-restricted timber apron and 830 linear feet of seawall (northerly portion of Berth 6 and entire Berth 8)
• Construction of a new, high-capacity (650 psf) pier tailored to fishing vessel and industrial customers, including applicable utilities, bollards, and steel fender system
• Improvements to the marine environment, including the removal of over 2,200 creosote timber pilings and installation of a stormwater treatment system, and increased functionality without increasing the pier's overwater coverage

Purpose
