# Kaumalapau Harbor

**Country:** United States  
**Water Body:** North Pacific Ocean  
**Harbor Size:** Very Small  
**Harbor Type:** Coastal (Breakwater)  
**GPS:** 20.7833, -157.0000

Groceries, building materials, fuel and container trailers reach Lanai across the breakwater-sheltered quay of Kaumalapau Harbor, the island's only commercial cargo port. Operated around Young Brothers' interisland barge service, the pier offers about 7.9 m depth and is typically called several times a week on overnight runs from Honolulu. Winter swell and harbour surge regularly disrupt loading, prompting a 2024 ShoreTension mooring installation to hold barges steady in rough conditions. There is no deep-sea container or customs operation here: overseas freight clears at the Port of Honolulu and feeders to Lanai by barge. For forwarders, Kaumalapau is the spoke end of a Honolulu-centred network.
