How freight moves through Lihue
Lihue is the county seat of Kauai, and Nawiliwili Harbor, southeast of town, is the island's main seaport, so freight and vehicles reach Kauai by ocean. Freight trucks serve Lihue on HI-50 (Kaumualii Highway) and HI-56 (Kuhio Highway). Most of what ships from here comes from tourism and hospitality supplies, agricultural products, construction materials and retail distribution.
Rules of the road
What shapes a move in Hawaii
- Seasonal conditions
The Central Pacific hurricane season runs from June 1 through November 30, and because freight and vehicles reach the islands by ocean, storms can delay sailings and harbor operations.
Rules change. The specialist on your move checks the current ones for your exact route before anything is booked.
