The Harbors Division has maintained a collaborative relationship with the Army, enabling efficient port access and service delivery through established blanket purchase agreements that support military maritime infrastructure needs in Hawaii.

The Harbors Division has secured significant federal grant awards focused on port infrastructure improvement, environmental sustainability, and technological advancement. Notable grants include an $81,144,870 Maritime Administration grant for port infrastructure development, which encompasses electrifying ship-to-shore cranes, implementing smart gate technologies, developing an electrical microgrid, and enhancing port operational efficiency. Additionally, the organization received a $56,732,500 EPA Clean Ports Program grant to replace diesel cargo yard tractors with hydrogen fuel cell-powered equipment and a $2,500,000 grant to conduct comprehensive port emissions inventory and reduction strategy development.
