Port of Haines

Haines connects coastal transport with a road route into the interior. The Haines Highway links the town with the Alaska Highway, giving its marine facilities a role beyond local waterfront traffic. Ferries, cruise ships and freight movements use different parts of the port area.

Port Chilkoot Dock receives cruise visitors close to the town and historic Fort Seward. The Alaska Marine Highway ferry terminal is at Lutak, farther from the centre, where passengers and vehicles transfer between sea and road travel.

Lutak Dock also forms part of the supply chain serving Haines and the surrounding region. These separate facilities explain the port’s varied economic role: cruise calls support visitor businesses, while ferry and freight connections help sustain everyday transport and access to goods.
