THE JONES ACT
The issue that is longstanding and ripples to the economic well being of the State of Hawaii,
residents and businesses is blamed on the Jones Act. The actions taken by citizens and the Hawaii
Legislature are to seek an exemption to the coastwise provisions of the Jones Act, specifically the
US-built requirement. As a proponent of the Jones Act, it is my position that the Jones Act is not the
evil.
My thoughts have been shared on numerous occasions to former Governor Ben Cayetano, former
Governor Neil Abercrombie, Governor David Ige, the leadership and members of the Senate and
House of Representatives, residents and businesses, Mr. Michael Hansen, President of the Hawaii
Shippers’ Council and Mr. John Carroll, Esq. who represented Mr. Patrick Novak, Mr. Daniel Rocha,
Mr. Larry Kenner, Mr. Ken Schoolland, Mr. Bjorn Arntzen, Mr. Philip R. Wilkerson and Dr. William
Akina in the US District Court for the District of Hawaii and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
The United Kingdom Department for Transport (DfT) Maritime Growth Study [located at
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/458265/mariti
me-growth-study-keeping-UK-competitive.pdf] was shared by Dennis L. Bryant, Esq., Principal of
Bryant’s Maritime Consulting, Gainesville, Florida. “The study examines how to maximize Britain's
potential as a maritime nation. Among other things, the study recommends the establishment of a
ministerial working group in government to drive forward action on maritime issues, set clear
targets, and monitor progress.” Relevant for Hawaii is the following:

“Despite the reliance of our island nation’s supply chain on shipping,
the contribution of the maritime industries to the UK economy and
our cluster of world-leading business services, manufacturing and
engineering expertise, the maritime sector has a relatively low
profile in the UK.” Page 30
“The UK benefits from a diverse, wide-ranging and competitive
maritime sector with a number of important constituent parts.”
[Emphasis Supplied] Page 30
“The evidence gathered during the Study suggests that, although the
UK benefits from a diverse, wide-ranging and competitive maritime
sector, its extensive nature and wide range of priorities can make it
difficult for its constituent parts to co-ordinate their interests. This
lack of collaboration has limited the ability of the sector to interest
and influence policymakers compared with other areas, raise its
domestic profile and sell what the UK has to offer abroad. Some of
this can be attributed to the historic separation of related industries
into two sectors – maritime (shipping, business services and ports)
and marine (manufacturing and engineering).” Page 36
Hawaii is the primary shipping route for Guam to and from the Ports of Oakland and Seattle.
The Jones Act does not restrict shippers, including U.S. flagged carriers from stopping in Hawaii.
Hawaii has taken a backseat to the Port of Guam given its path to assuage the Jones Act for its high
cost of shipping woes. The Port of Guam is touted as the major shipping port for the Pacific but, see:

PORT AUTHORITY OF GUAM
“[T]he Port of Guam, located along major Pacific shipping and air routes, is an important
transportation hub linking the Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas, the Micronesian
islands, and the expanding Far East markets with the United States and the rest of the
world.” http://www.portguam.com/

“The Port Authority of Guam was established as a public corporation and autonomous agency of the
government by Public Law 13-87 in October 1975. The Port operates the only commercial seaport
in the Territory and, as the primary seaport in Micronesia, serves as a transshipment point for
the entire Western Pacific region.” [Emphasis Supplied]
http://www.portofguam.com/docs/information/2014/annual-report-2013.pdf
“The Port Authority of Guam, a public corporation, is an autonomous agency of the Government of
Guam. Its management is responsible for the planning, promotion, development, construction,
operation, and maintenance of port facilities. These activities are administered by five non-salaried
directors who are responsible to the Governor of Guam. Policy decisions of the Port's board of
directors are carried out by a general manager and his staff.
Since the Port Authority of Guam has no taxing powers, it raises capital funds for construction
projects by securing its own credit. Its debts and operating costs are paid out of charges, fees, and
other revenues from its facilities – in short, by maintaining an efficient and economically viable
operation. Today's self–sustaining Port operation reflects a dramatic growth in cargo revenue tons
handled since 1951, when the U.S. naval administration turned over port management to the
island's civilian government. During this period, revenue tonnage handled increased from 85,677 in
1951 to 1.8 million in Fiscal Year 2006.
Over the years, the Port of Guam has grown from a small facility to a thriving center of trade in the
western Pacific. The Port's comprehensive plan for the future includes Port expansion of its
facilities and equipment as well as economic development of shipping – related industries through
the use of the 1007.83 acres of federal land transferred to the Government of Guam.
The Port Authority plays a vital role in the lives of all citizens living on Guam and the Territory.
Because of our location, we are almost entirely dependent on our sea link to the United States and
to our foreign contacts. The recent passage of Public Law 29–125 has given the Port Authority
conditional approval of its updated Master Plan which will serve as the road map for the Port's
modernization. It is the Port's vision to transform its facility into a world class terminal for Guam
and the Western Pacific Region.
Employed with 338 dedicated civil service employees, the Port Authority is staffed with around–
the–clock personnel to ensure efficient loading, off-loading, and transshipment services.”

and is the subject of the Kapalama Container Terminal EIS. The EIS is ongoing.” [Emphasis

Reasonable translation: The Kapalama Container Terminal is DEAD! Terminated by
unrevealed silent forces, carried out in darkness and secrecy.
MESSAGE
To Governor David Ige, Senate President Ronald Kouchi, House Speaker Joseph Souki,
Members of the Hawaii Senate and House of Representatives:
We demand a thorough and complete investigation and explanation.
The Jones Act has been made the scapegoat for the high cost of shipping and the high cost of
consumer goods. Let the truth be known! We can handle the truth.
Let not the truth be complicated and tarnished by politics, just the facts
Congresswoman Patsy Takemoto Mink
"It is easy enough to vote right and be consistently with the
majority. But it is more often more important to be ahead of the
majority and this means being willing to cut the first furrow in
the ground and stand alone for a while if necessary."
