Peter Pan's dock of the bay

Peter Pan Seafoods Inc. is planning to build a major new dock at its Bristol Bay salmon cannery at Dillingham.

The Seattle-based company has applied to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a permit.

According to a public notice the Corps issued today, Peter Pan proposes to construct a 339-foot by 55-foot pile-supported dock adjacent to its existing dock and plant.

The company's goal is "to provide storage during seasonal processing and to provide additional access to fishing vessels," the application says.

The application doesn't include a cost estimate or construction schedule.
