As someone who works on the ships that come into and out of our port, I say we need to better utilize the land we have.  I've been to ports all over the Pacific including the entire west coast, Hawaii, Guam, Japan, Korea, China, Hong Kong Singapore, Thailand, etc.  Port of Anchorage doesn't utilize the benefits of containerization the way they were designed to be.  Even Naknek stacks containers!  What makes Anchorage different?  I'm not talking about the dock at Ship Creek.  I'm talking about the container port.  Get some straddle carriers like every other port in the world!  You'll have double or triple the space!
