Back in June we shared a wonderful GIS success story out of Alaska. Now, the Port of Alaska in Anchorage, was honored to share their success at the at #EsriUC2021. (see link below)
The Port of Alaska handles over 80% of the resident’s consumer goods, and most of the raw materials the state’s commerce and industries rely on. The vital role of the Port of Alaska has earned the 125-acre facility the title, ‘The Supply Lifeline of Alaska’. A landlord with dozens of long- and short-term leases, the POA is the multimodal hub for the state’s road and rail network.
To protect this vital hub, the Port of Alaska Modernization Program began in 2016. Roads, docks, fuel transfer systems, oil storage systems, drainage systems, power systems, and all the engineering and construction infrastructure that keep the port running were inspected, improved, expanded, or replaced.
This year at #EsriUC2021, Sharen Walsh, Director Port of Alaska Modernization Program was joined by Luke Boggess of R & M Consultants, Anchorage AK, and Daniel Elroi, President and CEO of #NSGIS, the premier integrator of GIS in North American ports. Together they share the critical role GIS plays in safeguarding the Port of Alaska’s viability and importance.
