Principal cargoes handled at the port are containers, breakbulk cargo, liquid/dry bulk cargoes and fuel. Kahului is a port of call for cruise vessels.

The coast on the S side of the approach between the harbour and Papaula Point, 2.75nm ENE, is low and backed by sugar cane and pineapple plantations. Spartan Reef borders the coast, extending as much as 1nm offshore at Papaula Point. The entrance channel leads into the harbour between 2 breakwaters with a distance between them of 200m, depth of 12.1m, the manmade harbour basin has a width 625m by length 731m and a project depth of 10.66m.
