Finding a shipping or logistics partner can be a challenge for Hawaii businesses, especially for companies moving products between the islands and the mainland.
To help, Hawai‘i Foreign-Trade Zone No. 9 offers a free online directory of third-party logistics providers and freight forwarding companies.

The directory gives businesses a starting point for finding companies that can assist with shipping, warehousing, distribution, and freight management. It's part of a broader resource hub that also includes listings for customs brokers and shipping agents.
For small businesses in particular, the directory can save time by putting multiple logistics resources in one place rather than requiring owners to search for providers individually.
FTZ9 operates from Pier 2 on Honolulu's waterfront and serves as Hawaii's federally designated foreign-trade zone, helping businesses navigate international trade, importing, exporting, and supply chain operations.
