From the transcript
Our imports are needed. For example, when we had COVID several years ago, if you remember COVID, a lot of the shipping was in question whether it's going to come to Alaska or not because of what happened. It just proves how important this port is. And this port has been a longstanding issue in terms of it being repaired and upgraded. And so I want to thank the municipality of Anchorage, the mayor, I really want to thank also Steve Cox, my general counsel.
