Box 360 Hoonah, Alaska 9929 Prepared by: PND Engineers 9360 Glacier Highway, Suite 100 Juneau, Alaska 99801 (907) 586-2093 January 12, 2012 Hoonah Berthing Facility Site Alternative Analysis Report January 12, 2012 Page 1 Project Description and Purpose The Hoonah Berthing Facility project involves the construction of multi-use facility near Cannery Point north of Hoonah. The project is being funded by a grant from the State of Alaska. As described in a letter from State Representative Bill Thomas to Mr. Scott Ruby, Director of the Division of Community and Regional Affairs: “The primary purpose of this grant is to fund the construction of a dock near Cannery Point which will be able to accommodate large cruise ships.” The letter also stated that: “The secondary purpose of the grant is to fund a design that will be able to accommodate year round ancillary uses such as barges, large yachts, the Alaska Marine Highways, and the US Coast Guard vessels. Maximizing the usage of this dock is important. When cruise ships are not using the dock, there is a perfect opportunity to explore other benefits that it might bring to the City of Hoonah.” Site Alternatives Analysis In early August, 2011, the City of Hoonah retained PND Engineers Inc. (PND) to investigate three sites for the Hoonah Berthing Facility: One site northwest of Cannery Point, one adjacent to the Cannery and a third site near Shaman or Hoonah Point. User Criteria An initial meeting was held on August 23, 2011 at the City of Hoonah City Hall to discuss the site analysis.

L. Heeley This work is accepted as fulfilling the Research Paper requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN MANAGEMENT from the United States Naval Postgraduate School ABSTRACT « The roll-on- roll-<fr£f and lift-on-lift-off cargo handling concepts have developed rapidly in the trans- portation field since the early 1950' s. The utilization of these two concepts has revolutionized the transportation industry. Based on the information available and the comparative analysis made it can be seen that the economical advantages of the lift-on-lift-off operation are more applicable to commercial transportation, whereas the fast turn-around features of the roll-on-roll-off operation are of particular importance in the logistics field for successful support of Military operations TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I, Introduction 1 II • Containerization 8 J III, Roll-on-Roll-off Concept 21 IV* Life-on-Lift-off Concept 37 V.
