The City of Kodiak is either being proactive with respect to the issues associated with "carbon foot print" or it has a modified business strategy or both.   Kodiak is well on its way to creating the infrastructure to support larger vessels who may no longer have to travel the 2500 mile round-trip to west coast maintenance yards for services. While we've previously reported on the geography and general business on the island, we thought you might be interested in learning more about plans at Kodiak's port.   Kodiak is well on its way to broaden its capacity and services that may well impact the food supply chain - at least that of seafood.  It all starts with Kodiak's plans for a heavy lift 600 ton crane with a travel lift - nearly 6 stories high that will handle vessels up to 180 feet.  Currently there is nothing on the western gulf that exists to service these vessels for maintenance and repair and Kodiak is hoping to soon hang out is shingle and be open for business.
