I think that their questins were very good but I thought that they could have asked more questions about the issue.

To:The Fighting Group
I thought that their questions were understandable and that i would wonder about those things too but I thought maybe they should ask the question"Why would people want to get in fights if it leads into you or the other person getting hurt?"

To super ferry group
I like your questions but think about whats going to happen if the super ferry cant dock on kaui.
Keala-
To:The Fighting Group
Their questions were very good but i think they should look at them again and take one out then change it to one that talks more about the problem and why.
Keala-
To: The Super Ferry Group
I think that they should think about if their questions and if they involve the issue if it doesnt then dont use it.
Keala-
To:The Littering Group
I think the questions are great and they also involve the problem and i think that they should keep all of the questions but think of more.
Super Ferry Group:
I can see you guys are interested in what the super ferry is and what it can do. Like your classmates, I think it would be interesting if you researched why there are people on outer islands that don't want the super ferry. Also, how will the super ferry impact our environment?
Mrs. Cordeiro
To: Littering Group
I think you chose a good topic. I think you have good questions, but I think looking into people's feelings and attitudes is difficult. If you are going to do so, you may want to be more specific and ask questions like, "how do students at Waimea Middle School feel about littering?" OR, you could choose to focus on the effects of littering. Either way, it's a good start and we can talk about it in class more on Friday. :)
Mrs. Cordeiro
To: Fighting Group:
I really like your questions and think that you will be able to make a great movie on this topic. I especially like your final 3 questions and think you should focus on those.

I think litering is a good choice of a topic , becuase you can find lots of information on the internet.

I thing that littering is a bad thing becuse
it makes the water dertey and when the sea aninmals
eat the rubes they die.

Facility Planning and Development in Hawaiian Ports
1. Executive Summary
Users of Hawaiian ports are increasingly confronted with limitations on the availability of
berth and terminal resources throughout the Hawaiian port system. Harbor users,
including members of the Hawaii Harbors Users Group (HHUG) understand well the
critical role ports play in the economic life of the Islands, and witness each day the great
extent to which port facilities influence the success and commercial well-being of the
State and the level of service provided to the residents of the State.
In order to provide input that would be useful to HDOT / Harbors and that would assist
with the planning and development of port facilities, the HHUG retained Mercator
Transport Group to work with its member companies to review and evaluate facility
requirements within the Hawaiian harbors system and develop a set of priorities for
future port development.
The Mercator team identified a looming shortage of port facilities on many islands,
brought about by rapid growth of cruise traffic, the introduction of inter-island ferry
service and the continued growth in the transportation of core commodities and consumer
goods. Increased cargo and cruise traffic will soon consume most of the reserve capacity
of the existing facilities, and thereby reduce the ability of ports and port users to
efficiently serve the existing market, respond to new service requirements or recover
quickly from the natural and man-made service disruptions that invariably occur.
Mercator has worked closely with the users of the Hawaiian harbors network to develop
this assessment of port development requirements and to identify recommended actions
to be taken. In this report, we summarize the key issues that drive the need for increased
focus on port facility development, identify the locations and causes of the most critical
port capacity shortages, and put forward a set of recommendations for new facilities to
address these problems.
Our recommendations for priority port development, jointly put forward with the HHUG
members, have been organized into three groups: Long term strategically critical
projects, medium term projects required to meet the needs of the next 2-4 years, and short
term projects that are smaller in scale and provide immediate relief of pressing
constraints and should be targeted for completion in the next year.

Other Recommendations
The costs to complete required projects is clearly large, and will exceed the capability of
existing funding mechanisms and available cash flows. It is therefore recommended
jointly by Mercator and the HHUG members that the Harbors Division immediately
consider increases in the wharfage rates in order to increase the cash flow available now
and to build a reserve fund to be used for undertaking the significant “medium term”
capital projects required during the next 1-5 years. It is also recommended that the
Harbors Division undertake more specific analysis of alternative funding mechanisms to
determine the quantity of funds that could be raised under each of them (some approaches
are described briefly in Section 8 of this report) and test the feasibility of successfully
completing one or more significant port infrastructure development projects under each
approach.
HDOT / Harbors Division should continue to actively engage the users of the harbor in
setting development priorities and in raising sufficient funds to move forward with
development projects on a timely basis in order to ensure that facilities are developed
before needs become critical.
2. Introduction
Key Harbor Users have identified a need for increased focus on the development of port
facilities, and have joined together in order to highlight this need and assist the
Department of Harbors in implementing port facility improvements. In order to advance
this process, the Hawaii Harbor Users Group - consisting of Matson Navigation Co.,
Horizon Lines, Ltd., Young Brothers/Hawaiian Tug&Barge, Sause Brothers, Aloha
Cargo Transport (ACT), McCabe Hamilton & Renny Stevedores, Hawaii Stevedores,
Norwegian Cruise Line, Hawaii Superferry, Tesoro and The Gas Company - has retained
Mercator Transport Group to study the needs and priorities for port facility development
as seen from the perspective of the Harbor Users in order that these needs can be
addressed more effectively by the Department of Harbors.
This report has thus been developed in order to bring together the views and concerns of
key Harbor Users and document existing and emerging port facility requirements that are
not effectively being satisfied.
In the course of this project, the Mercator team met with key managers and executives
from each of the Harbor Users Group companies, and visited numerous port facilities on
Oahu and Maui. Extensive data on cargo flows and port usage was obtained from both
the HDOT Harbors Division and from Harbor Users, and was analyzed in order to
provide a quantitative basis where possible to support the assessments presented in the
report. In addition, the team has drawn on its extensive experience in Hawaiian ports,

acquired over many years working in the liner industry serving the Hawaiian market, and
consulting to transportation and port operating companies active in the Hawaiian trades.

The Honolulu inter-island container volumes shown in the above graph were derived from the HDO\T
statistics by assuming Honolulu volumes are equal to the sum of the Neighbor Islands volumes. This
adjustment to the HDOT figures corrects an apparent reporting problem in the Honolulu figures.
2
The Appendix 2e container volume historical analysis remains incomplete due to missing inputs.
However, the available data for 2004 shows reasonable agreement with the (adjusted) HDOT figures.
MTG
The number and complexity of the cargo flows through Honolulu make it difficult to see
clearly just what is happening in the Port, particularly given the way that cargo data is
collected and made available. Nonetheless, a few observations can be made:
• Container traffic has steadily increased, with an average increase of about 4% per
year over the 10 years through 2004. Over the last 4 years, however, container
traffic has increased more sharply and is up more than 26% versus year 2001
levels.
