STAND. COM. REP. NO.1485

Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2001

RE: S.C.R. No. 93

 

 

Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2001

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Transportation, to which was referred S.C.R. No. 93 entitled:

"SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION SUPPORTING ACCELERATION OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE KAPALAMA CONTAINER TERMINAL FACILITY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this concurrent resolution is to express legislative support for construction of a new container terminal facility at the former Kapalama Military Reservation as soon as reasonably possible.

The Department of Transportation and Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii Maritime Committee testified in support of this concurrent resolution.

Your Committee finds that cargo container storage facilities are an essential link in the lifeline of goods shipped into and out of the State, and that existing facilities must be upgraded to support the amount of container traffic that presently flows through Oahu's commercial harbors.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Transportation that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of S.C.R. No. 93 and recommends its adoption.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Transportation,

____________________________
