Young Brothers and Matson are the two carriers that keep Hilo (US ITO) supplied — Young Brothers running interisland barges from the Honolulu hub, Matson linking the port directly to the US West Coast at Long Beach and Oakland, trailers included. The main commercial harbour for Hawai'i Island, Hilo mostly receives consumer goods, food, refrigerated cargo, building materials, fuel and vehicles for local demand, making it a strongly import-oriented port. With about 9 metres of draft at the cargo pier and regular cruise calls, it functions as a regional supply port rather than a deep-sea container gateway. Larger volumes and transhipment move through Honolulu, with Kawaihae serving the island's west side.
