SPAN ALASKA REMAINS Fully Operational
Alaska CBP Notice Does Not Affect Our Operations
Dear Span Customer,
Yesterday, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a notice that their downtown Anchorage office would be closed for a week to 14 days due to one of their employees testing positive for COVID-19. In the notice, CBP refers to their downtown Anchorage office as the “Port of Anchorage,” causing confusion among recipients that the notice was referring to the Port of Alaska being closed.
Please be advised:
• Domestic cargo, like that coming from Tacoma to Anchorage, is not required to clear U.S. Customs.
• Port of Alaska Director Steve Ribuffo has assured us that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection office closure does not affect Port of Alaska operations.
• SPAN and MATSON operations continue uninterrupted.
