Gov. David Ige and the Hawai‘i Department of Transportation (HDOT) Harbors Division broke ground yesterday for the Kapalama Container Terminal project — the largest capital improvement project in the history of Hawai‘i’s commercial harbor system.
“ I’m proud to say the construction of the Kapalama Container Terminal Project is underway, and in four years we’ll have a new state-of-the-art cargo facility that will allow us to consolidate cargo operations, enhance operational efficiencies and improve cargo handling capacity ,” said Gov. Ige .
“ In addition to the $448 million that we’re investing in the Kapalama Container Terminal project, we’ve completed several other modernization projects designed to enhance maritime operations throughout the state .”
The Kapalama Container Terminal (KCT) is the centerpiece of the Harbor Modernization Plan resulting from the approval of Act 200 (2008) and is necessary to maintain the vital, just-in-time shipping logistics necessary to sustain this island state.
The Kapalama Container Terminal project will be constructed in two phases over a four-year period with an estimated project cost of $448 million. Completion of this project is targeted for 2022.
Phase I – Landside Construction
