Vessels we support

Agency support scoped to the vessel and the call.

A 60-metre superyacht and a fuel barge need very different things from a Hawaiʻi port call. HYANS scopes each engagement to the vessel type, the port, and the reason for the call — with one point of contact throughout.

Overview

One agency, many vessel profiles.

Hawaiʻi receives an unusually broad mix of traffic — private and charter yachts on Pacific circuits, commercial ships and tugs working the interisland freight lanes, and research and government vessels operating in and around the islands. Each brings different documentation, berth, vendor, and coordination requirements.

Select your vessel profile below for how HYANS typically supports that call, the services most often involved, and what to prepare before you contact us. Where a requirement depends on authorities, weather, or vendor availability, we say so.

Questions

Frequently asked

Does HYANS only work with superyachts?
No. HYANS supports private, charter, commercial, research, government and conservation vessels, as well as tugs, barges and workboats. The level and style of support is scoped to the vessel and the call.
Do you support foreign-flag vessels?
Yes. We regularly coordinate arrivals for foreign-flag vessels and support the documentation and authority coordination that a foreign-flag call involves. Final decisions rest with CBP, USDA/APHIS, the Coast Guard, and harbor authorities.
How far in advance should we contact you?
As early as practicable. Earlier notice gives more room to coordinate berths, fuel, vendors, and crew logistics — though availability is never guaranteed and depends on port conditions and third parties.

Not sure which profile fits?

Tell HYANS the vessel, the port, and the reason for the call. We will confirm scope and propose the right agency plan — for any vessel type, any island.
