This conference was planned recognizing that maritime commerce and port development must be stimulated by the public and private sectors to create a viable transportation system for Alaska. Anticipated resource development in the '80s will superimpose complex and costly transportation developments on the already growing need to move freight and passengers to the remote coastal and inland communities. Existing transportation facilities and services in Alaska's rural areas, where much of the resource development will take place, range from nonexistent to seriously underdeveloped and marginally effective. Marine transport is, and has been the dominant way to move freight for Alaska. Barriers to ports and marine services development in Alaska are substantial and varied. Identifying workable solutions to reduce or eliminate the barriers is the challenge which this conference was designed to meet.
