Alaska Marine Highway Terminal in Prince Rupert
The terminal was originally built in 1963 and is the only Canadian stop on the state’s extensive coastal ferry system. With the original agreement soon to come to an end, the State of Alaska is currently in negotiations with CN Rail and the Prince Rupert Port Authority for another 50-year lease that is expected to be approved in September.
While the terminal building on the Prince Rupert waterfront was opened in 1993, the old dock has been facing the elements for half a century and is deteriorating, and once a new lease is put in place, it will be replaced.
