Checked facts

Which harbor

Hawaii DOT's harbors FAQ names ten commercial harbors. For the Oahu District it lists Honolulu Harbor and Kalaeloa Barbers Point Harbor. Kailua is not on that list, so a Windward address is still a ship to one of the Oahu harbors, then a drive. The terminal page is Port of Honolulu. The plan's city-route file includes Honolulu to Seattle and Honolulu to Los Angeles and marks them ocean.

The joint base and the one-car entitlement

MilitaryINSTALLATIONS titles a page Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. Military OneSource says that for a move that is CONUS to OCONUS, OCONUS to CONUS, or OCONUS to OCONUS, only one privately owned vehicle may be shipped at government expense. A second car, or a move that is not orders, is a private ship. Ask the transportation office about exceptions. See Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.

Who is moving

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). California to Hawaii is that lane. Ask the transportation office which car, if any, the orders cover. Oahu registration starts on the Hawaii page.
