Hawaii has temporarily waived Kahului Harbor wharfage fees for inbound cargo to help relief efforts after the devastating Lahaina fire in Maui on Aug. 8 as one local transport company halted supply shipments due to port congestion.
Relief efforts have been coordinated since Aug. 15 by county, state and federal officials working with community partners to distribute donations for Maui fire victims.
Hawaii’s Lt. Gov. Sylvia Luke has been put in charge of spearheading assistance by Gov. Josh Green. A new donation storage and sorting center has been opened at a state-owned warehouse near Kahului Airport.
