Alaska Steamship Company, the only water shipping line servicing Haines-Port Chilkoot on a regular schedule, has announced it will terminate its monthly freighter following the arrival of a ship this week.
The company had requested a rate increase of 15% which had been denied by the U.S. Maritimes Commission.
According to Thomas Quinlan, Haines agent for the company, the company had been operating at a loss for the past year, more in Southeast than elsewhere.
