Moving machinery in and out of Honolulu
Honolulu Harbor on Oahu is the state's main commercial port and the primary entry point for cargo from the U.S. mainland, and because most goods consumed in Hawaii arrive by ocean, freight and vehicles reach the city by sea rather than by road. Machines leave Honolulu on H-1, H-3 and HI-92 (Nimitz Highway), and a load taller than 14 ft needs a HDOT permit for the exact route.
