• Proposed Administrative Rules to Adjust Tariffs
  Hawaii’s Commercial Harbors System operates as an enterprise and is required by law to be self-sustaining, meaning DOT Harbors must impose and collect the fees and charges necessary to cover operating and maintenance costs, as well as the cost of capital improvement projects. Tariffs for commercial harbors’ services and facilities in Hawaii have not increased since March 1997, a period of over twelve (12) years. As most of the goods imported into the State arrive through DOT’s commercial harbors, ocean surface transportation is our economic lifeline and an efficient commercial harbors system is key to maintaining a healthy marine highway system to the world. DOT must collect revenue to cover expenditures, account for both near-term operations and maintenance as well as the longer-term projects in the Harbors Modernization Plan. It is therefore imperative that we adjust tariffs now to meet revenue requirements, sustain existing services and maintain Hawaii’s lifeline to the world.
