Port Bailey, Kodiak Island Alaska

Overall Structure:

The former Wards Cove Processing Plant at Port Bailey, Alaska is owned by Port Bailey Wild, LLC.  The Plant is located approximately 40 mi. north of Kodiak, Alaska, just north through Whale Pass from Port Lions:

Access to Port Bailey is through the main airport at Kodiak.  From Kodiak it is a short seaplane ride to Port Bailey.  Alternatively, you can drive to the road end at Anton Larson Bay, and from there travel by boat through whale pass to Port Bailey.

Kodiak, Alaska, is located 250 miles SSW of Anchorage:

The cannery at Port Bailey was operated for most of the 20th century.  Its location near the northwest coast of Kodiak Island allows for substantial production of Sockeye (Red), Pink (Humpy), Chum (Keta) and Coho (Silver) Salmon.  There is substantial halibut and black cod (Sablefish) in the area.  The Plant produced millions of pounds of canned salmon each year until it was closed in the late 1990s.

Port Bailey is approximately four hours by fishing vessel closer to the Northwest fishing grounds than Kodiak.  It is a more desirable delivery location and has lower tender costs than the plants located in the city of Kodiak.  Many fishers in the surrounding areas traditionally delivered to Port Bailey, have a substantial allegiance to it, and can be reasonably expected to again deliver to Port Bailey if a sound commercial operation is established.

In addition to the commercial potential for Port Bailey, it is surrounded by optimal sportfishing and hunting areas.  Historically, commercial and sportfishing facilities have been separated.  However, high tech processing and sport activities are not inherently incompatible.  Properly planned they are complementary.  There are sufficient facilities, buildings and land available to accommodate both a commercial operation and a sportfishing/hunting operation on the same property.

The Port Bailey facility is traditional and attractive:

The General facilities at Port Bailey include a Store, a fully equipped Laundry, a complete Machine Shop, an Infirmary, electric generating capacity, Fuel, a more than adequate water supply, extensive storage for commercial fishing supplies, and deepwater mortgage for large vessels.

The processing plant is located in four contiguous buildings and includes icemaking capacity, a large fish processing area with modern surfaces, modern blast freezers with the capacity of more than 200,000 lbs. per day, large packaging and warehousing areas, a cold storage with approximately 1.5 million pounds capacity, fish handling equipment, cranes and associated equipment.

The Plant consists of 22 buildings and associated facilities on 27.84 acres together with 47 acres of submerged tidelands:
