Due to the Jones Act of 1920, this prohibits it. All goods must hit the mainland first then reship back to Hawaii.
So we're 2nd class citizens? What an outdated maritime law!!!!
Even Walmart's China shipments have to come to the US mainland then turn around again to ship to Hawaii.
Dumb law, huh?
Well, a few of the politicians may be starting to get interested in repealing certain parts of the Jones Act to get the shipping changed. It only makes sense to ship direct from China to Hawaii!
My notes on researching inflatable boats started in 2006-and continuing. This blog tracks my observations during my search for a dive inflatable. I also turned on AdSense for a trial period so there may be related advertising shown on my pages, we'll see how it goes and decide later to remove it or keep it.
