a <br /> <br /> Committee on Finance-43 August 23, 1994 <br /> Comm. 1239: RESOLUTION TO LEVY WHARFAGE CHARGES ONLY ON THE <br /> (Res. 269) NEIGHBOR ISLANDS FOR CARGO TRANSSHIPPED INTER AND <br /> From Councilman S. Kalani Schutte, dated August 5, <br /> 1994, transmitting a resolution encouraging the State <br /> Department of Transportation to revise the Amendment <br /> to Section 19-44-65, Title 19 of the Hawaii <br /> Administrative Rules, to levy wharfage charges only on <br /> the neighbor islands for cargo transshipped <br /> interisland. <br /> MR. DE LIMA: Mr. Chairman, I would like to defer this <br /> to our next Committee meeting and ask that the <br /> representatives of Sea-Land and Matson provide us some <br /> input. I know that there is an issue of fear of <br /> competition and whether one business is being unfairly <br /> advantaged. So I think the best thing for us to do is <br /> to get some more information. I did get some <br /> information, and there appears to be a genuine issue <br /> of controversy here between the competing carriers, <br /> and I think it's important that we get that <br /> information. <br /> CHR. ARAKAKI: Do I have a second? <br /> MR. ROSEHILL: I second it. <br /> CHR. ARAKAKI: Just so that we get it clear, who do we <br /> want to invite? <br /> MR. DE LIMA: Matson, and Sea-Land is trying to get <br /> the compromise. <br /> CHR. ARAKAKI: How about Young Brothers, no? <br /> MR. ROSEHILL: What about the Department of <br /> Transportation. <br /> MR. DE LIMA: Department of Transportation would <br /> probably be the best impartial presentation. <br /> CHR. ARAKAKI: Okay, who else? <br /> MR. DE LIMA: That's all I can think of. <br /> CHR. ARAKAKI: What's the other one, the barge <br /> service? Young Brothers, no? Not necessary? <br /> Page 40 <br /> <br />
