What is the value of your harbor?
What benefit do you derive from a new slip?
With the Harbor Economic Impact Model,
you can answer these questions and many more.

The HEIM assesses the local and regional economic impacts of harbors in Alaska, based on information about your harbor, community, and regional fleet. The model features a graphical interface as a front-end to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Northern Economics, Inc. developed the HEIM with funding from the State of Alaska's Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. It is publicly available free of charge.

From this site, you can download the model, user manual, and other materials related to the Harbor Economic Impact Model. If you need help installing the model, you can view some basic instructions. If you have questions about the model’s results or how to accomplish specific tasks, view the frequently asked questions or send us a note to ask for help.
