Bethel
The Port of Bethel is the receiving and transshipment center for petroleum products and barged freight for the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The Kuskokwim area commercial salmon industry also relies on the Port for most of its infrastructure and processing requirements. The Port Cargo Dock is a nine-acre facility utilized for off loading, storing and distributing cargo destined for Bethel and transshipping to other communities in western and northern Alaska. Because the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta is not connected to any other community by road or rail, the Bethel general cargo dock and staging area are critical to the shipment of freight to the Delta.
