The Department of Ports and Harbors is responsible for managing, operating, and maintaining the Port of Dutch Harbor's five city-owned port facilities. The Department also conducts marine search and rescue services. The Department employs six full-time harbor officers and two office staff in addition to the director and the harbormaster.

The Port of Dutch Harbor strives to promote the growth and well-being of the Unalaska community by planning, developing, and managing marine-related municipal properties. Operating on a self-supporting basis, the Port of Dutch Harbor provides moorage and marine services that support marine-related commerce, fisheries, safety, recreation, tourism, and environmental protection of the Port of Dutch Harbor.
