IES - Honolulu Transportation Fuel Terminal, Honolulu, Hawaii

IES - Honolulu Transportation is a fuel terminal situated in Honolulu, Hawaii, at 933 North Nimitz Highway. This facility is part of the broader fuel infrastructure network serving the island of Oahu and supports the transportation and storage of petroleum products. As a fuel terminal, it plays a critical role in the supply chain for gasoline, diesel, and other fuels used by commercial, industrial, and residential consumers in the region. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which enforces Underground Storage Tank (UST) regulations and Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules. These regulations require secondary containment, leak detection, and spill response plans to minimize environmental risks. The terminal's NAICS code 424710 indicates it is classified as a petroleum bulk station and terminal, which typically involves large storage tanks and transfer operations. Located in Honolulu's industrial area along the waterfront, the terminal is strategically positioned to receive fuel shipments via marine vessels and distribute them via truck or pipeline. Its proximity to Honolulu Harbor and major transportation routes ensures efficient distribution across the island. The facility's operational status underscores its ongoing role in maintaining fuel supply reliability for Hawaii's energy needs.

The fuel terminal is located in an industrial area of Honolulu near Honolulu Harbor, which is a sensitive coastal environment. Spill and vapor risks are inherent to fuel terminal operations, requiring robust secondary containment and vapor recovery systems. The facility's proximity to the harbor and urban areas necessitates strict adherence to SPCC and UST regulations to prevent releases that could impact marine ecosystems and public health.
