Pier 51A Terminal (2) - Honolulu Harbour Facility | Marine Utilities

Pier 51A Terminal (2) is a harbour facility located at 1601 Sand Island Parkway in Honolulu, Hawaii, United States. Operating under NAICS code 488320 (Marine Cargo Handling), this terminal plays a key role in the state's maritime infrastructure, supporting cargo operations and vessel services in the Port of Honolulu. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the United States, including the EPA's Vessel General Permit (VGP) and NPDES permits for shoreside discharges. As a harbour in a major Pacific hub, it handles a mix of containerized and bulk cargo, with typical throughput volumes consistent with medium-scale terminals in the region. Operations are subject to IMO MARPOL Annexes for waste management and emissions control. Located on Sand Island in Honolulu Harbor, the terminal is situated in an area with significant coastal and marine ecosystems. Its operations include stormwater management and oil-water separation to minimize environmental impact. The facility supports Hawaii's economy by facilitating trade and cargo movement, serving as a critical link in the state's supply chain.

The terminal operates in the sensitive coastal environment of Honolulu Harbor, which supports diverse marine life and coral reef ecosystems. Cargo handling activities generate stormwater runoff that requires treatment to prevent pollution. The facility's proximity to urban areas and recreational waters necessitates robust environmental management practices, including spill prevention and waste disposal protocols aligned with MARPOL and US EPA standards.
