Checked facts
Where the ship can discharge
Hawaii DOT's harbors FAQ names ten harbors. The Oahu District entries are Honolulu Harbor and Kalaeloa Barbers Point Harbor. Kailua is not among them. A driveway in Kailua is a drive after the ship, not a mainland trailer quote, and it is not a substitute for a Maui or Hawaii Island harbor. The plan has no Kailua city-route rows. See Port of Honolulu.
The inflow is statewide and ocean
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 those lanes ocean and leaves miles blank. California to Hawaii is the largest. Registration on Oahu is described on the Hawaii page.
Neighbor-island harbors are the wrong discharge
Hilo, Kahului, and Nawiliwili are harbors for other islands on the same state list. A Kailua address does not make those the port. The Oahu harbors are Honolulu Harbor and Kalaeloa Barbers Point Harbor. After the ship, the car is driven to Kailua. Do not book Hilo or Kahului for a Kailua street.
