Anyone routing freight to Kona should look past Kailua: the wharf here lost its cargo role in 1959, when improvements at Kawaihae made handling at Kailua-Kona uneconomical and shifted it away for good. What remains on the Big Island's leeward coast is a small harbour (US KA7) for tour boats, dive operators and cruise-ship tenders rather than commercial breakbulk or containers. No customs or freight-terminal function operates on site. Genuine regional cargo moves through Kawaihae, Kona's commercial port, and through Hilo on the windward side.
