Report to the Port and Commerce Advisory Board
Vessel Traffic-
• In 2015 the Port had 202 Dockings for a total of 425 docking days. This included our newest
Cruise Ship Company- Norwegian Cruise Line. They are pleased with Seward as their newest
Port and will continue docking in Seward for the 2016 Season.
• Samson remains at their winter service schedule into the Freight(East) Dock.
• SeaTac Marine has two scheduled dockings in 2016. These are normally in February and March,
but are weather dependent based on conditions at the Port of Anchorage.
• 2016 Tariff rates will begin effective January 1, 2016. Our current Tariff has published rates
through 2019.
Events at the Terminal-
• The Kenai Crewsers held the 9th Annual 2015 Seward Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair at the Dale
Lindsey Cruise Ship Terminal December 4 and 5, 2015. This organization has organized this
event since 2012.
Other Items of Note-
• Global Diving continues their routine maintenance dock repairs at the Cruise Ship Dock. The
repair/replacement of the Cathodic Protection system is complete and piling jacket work will begin
the first half of January. Completion by end of February.
• Christy and Louie, along with a third team member, were presented in December with the
inaugural Alaska Railroad Gold Spike Award. This award will now be presented annually by the
CEO to employees who clearly stand out for above-and-beyond demonstration of company
values. Seward was recognized not only for exceptional customer service, but also for increased
dock revenue since 2010.
• The Railport Seward Team continues their work on the Passenger, Freight and Traffic Studies
and made a presentation to Council at their last meeting that matched the presentation also given
to PACAB. Data is still being collected, so if anyone would like to complete a questionnaire,
please contact either the Clerk's Office or Christy Terry.

COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT
Meeting Date: November 13,2007
Through: Philip Oates, City Manager /OAP of sEls,q
From: Scott Ransom,Harbormaster
4r
Agenda Item: Authorizing an increase in the port and harbor c.ASK
tariff by increasing all moorage rates and other
port fees (excluding passenger fees) by 5%
effective January 1,2008
BACKGROUND&JUSTIFICATION:
In April 2005 the City Council approved Resolution 2005-27, accepting a harbor
configuration for the Small Boat Harbor Expansion Project (the "Project"). The Project
was designed to take place phases. In May 2005 Council approved step 1,to extend E,F
and J floats(32 new concrete stalls),relocate X float(new gangway, new trestle, and fire
system) and to relocate and connect the fuel float. Step 1 was funded using revenues
from an increase in moorage rates which became effective on January 1, 2005. In Oct.
2005 139 pile(enough for all three phases)were purchased using EDA grant money.
Step 2 of the Project consisted of construction of new M, N, 0, P and Q timber floats
(107 new stalls with power,water,and new sewer pump-out facility),uplands utilities, a
road, trash facility, used oil facility, and attractive new restrooms at the top of the
gangway. Step 2 was funded in part by an increase in the passenger fee from $1.50 to
$3.50 effective January 1, 2006 and in part from a 10%increase in moorage rates which
became effective January 1,2006.
Step 3 of this project was the commercial basin Z float Project. Initial plans called for
880 ft of dock with attaching docks for commercial vessels. This project is rapidly
moving to final design .Although we will have to build this in phases, our current grant
should allow us to construct 200ft of dock,which will provide new moorage space for the
Cutter Mustang.
As local governments began to take ownership of the State harbors it quickly became
apparent that towns were not receiving enough money to replace their old floats. Seward
received $3,134,200. and took ownership of our floats in1999. This money was used to
replace some of the older floats.However,it was not enough and floats A,B,C,D,and S
are in desperate need of replacement. Harbormasters and Port Directors lobbied for grant
money from the State and this year a $5M 50/50 match was funded. The problem,
however, was that we needed to have our share of the matching funds available to be
considered.We could have submitted a very small project,but had we been successful we
