1.2 Vessel Types

  1.2.1 Container ships, bulk carriers, tankers, freighters, and fishing vessels regularly transit the waters surrounding the NWHI. With the exception of a few small boats at Midway Atoll and Tern Island (French Frigate Shoals), no vessels home port in the NWHI. Research and management vessels, eight fishing vessels, vessels used by Native Hawaiians, some recreational vessels, and a few cruise ships, conduct strictly regulated activities in NWHI waters (Franklin 2006; Mohri 2006).
