How do you ship heavy equipment to Hawaii?

Heavy equipment typically ships from West Coast ports (Oakland, Los Angeles, or Seattle) via Matson or Pasha container and breakbulk services. Under the Jones Act, cargo moving between US ports must use US-flagged vessels. We coordinate the full logistics chain including mainland pickup, ocean transit, and Honolulu delivery.

Can you deliver equipment to neighbor islands like Maui or Big Island?

Yes, we arrange inter-island delivery via Young Brothers barge service, which connects Honolulu to all major Hawaiian islands. For time-sensitive or specialized cargo, we also coordinate with inter-island air freight options.

What is the Jones Act and how does it affect Hawaii shipping?

The Jones Act requires that cargo moving between US ports be carried on US-built, US-flagged, US-crewed vessels. This affects all mainland-to-Hawaii cargo. We work with compliant carriers like Matson and Pasha to ensure your cargo moves legally and efficiently.
