Hawaii DOT's harbors FAQ says the division has jurisdiction over ten harbors. For the Hawaii District it names Hilo Harbor and Kawaihae Harbor. A vehicle for Hilo has to be booked to the harbor the ship actually uses. It does not drive over from Honolulu Harbor. The terminal page is Port of Hilo. Port of Kawaihae is the other Hawaii Island harbor on that list.
According to Census migration data, ACS 2024 estimates that 10,516 people now in Hawaii had lived in California a year earlier (margin of error 2,445). Texas was 5,174 (margin of error 2,026) and Washington 4,329 (margin of error 1,535). The plan marks these lanes ocean and leaves the miles blank. They are not a truck formula. California to Hawaii is the largest inflow. County registration is on the Hawaii page.
Kawaihae is the second Hawaii District harbor on the state list. A car discharged there is not yet in Hilo. The rest of that trip is a drive on Hawaii Island, not another mainland quote. Confirm the harbor before the ship is booked. Hilo Harbor and Kawaihae Harbor are both on Hawaii Island, and they are not interchangeable pins.
