Any interested person or corporation may apply for a use permit by completing in full the application provided for that purpose. In the case of a corporation, partnership, association, or other group however organized, evidence of corporate organization must be submitted by producing a current general excise tax license, and articles of incorporation registered with, approved and issued by the department of commerce and consumer affairs.
Applications for use permits shall be valid for one year. Applicants may apply for any one or more of the various types of use permits. Separate waiting lists may be maintained for each type of permit or berth.
In addition, for Kewalo Basin, an applicant for a mooring permit must state the activity in which the applicant's vessel is intended to be employed. A separate application shall be made for each such use or activity and a separate waiting list will be maintained for each activity.
A fee for each original application in each waiting list category shall be levied by the department.
Since berths are assigned on a best usage basis the length overall of the vessel for which a permit is being applied must be stated on the application. If the precise length is not known at the time of application the applicant will be allowed to deviate five feet from the stated length.
Should the applicant desire to change the declared length of the applicant's vessel as shown on the application, the applicant's seniority shall be determined by the date the change is made.
