A petroleum pier with two pipelines defines Port Allen, Kauai's second commercial harbour after Nawiliwili: one line carries fuel oil to The Gas Company's Port Allen station, another moves liquid fertiliser to a 630,000-gallon storage tank. The harbour's commercial role centres on liquid bulk – petroleum products, fuel oil and liquid fertiliser – received across that pier. It also handles inter-island barge traffic to Maui, Hawaii, Molokai and Lanai and moors excursion, charter and military vessels. Scheduled container shipping and general-cargo customs clearance are not its focus; Kauai's containerised imports move mainly through Nawiliwili on Matson and Young Brothers services. Hawaii's Department of Transportation Harbors Division manages the facility. For fuel, liquid fertiliser and barge logistics on Kauai's south side, Port Allen is the working port, while ocean containers route via Nawiliwili.
