Looking To Expand Cruise Ship Facilities In Seward, Alaska Railroad Seeks Partner
The Alaska Railroad put out a "request for qualifications" in September for a project developer to help with cruise ship facility expansion in Seward.
The railroad is planning to replace its 736 foot long dock, built in 1966. It wants to start construction in 2021 on a project costing $60 to $70 million. The plan is to have a floating dock, able to hold two of the newer, larger ships. There's also a plan for a new passenger terminal building capable of holding up to 1,500 passengers.
