Moving machinery in and out of Hilo
Hilo Harbor is one of the two main commercial harbors on the island of Hawaii, alongside Kawaihae on the west side, and freight and vehicles reach Hilo by ocean. Machines leave Hilo on HI-11 (Hawaii Belt Road), HI-19 (Hawaii Belt Road) and HI-200 (Saddle Road), and a load taller than 14 ft needs a HDOT permit for the exact route.
