Narrative:

Hnl tower cleared air carrier fot takeoff from end of runway 8L. Traffic was landing on runway 4R, which was an intersecting runway. While we were rotating, tower instructed an small transport to go around due to the traffic still on the runway. At about 200', out of the corner of my eye, I saw the small transport converging from the right, slightly below us in a right turn. I elected to pull the aircraft into a steep climb (V2) to avoid the small transport. After we were clear of the traffic, tower instructed us to turn heading 155 degrees and contact departure. No further incident. The problem here is that traffic should be spaced further apart, or tower should have better timing when aircraft are landing on one runway and taking off on an intersecting runway.

Title: SMT ON A GO AROUND FROM AN INTERSECTING RWY CAME IN CLOSE PROX TO AN ACR ON TKOF. ACR MADE V2 CLIMB. NMAC.

Narrative: HNL TWR CLRED ACR FOT TKOF FROM END OF RWY 8L. TFC WAS LNDG ON RWY 4R, WHICH WAS AN INTERSECTING RWY. WHILE WE WERE ROTATING, TWR INSTRUCTED AN SMT TO GO AROUND DUE TO THE TFC STILL ON THE RWY. AT ABOUT 200', OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE, I SAW THE SMT CONVERGING FROM THE RIGHT, SLIGHTLY BELOW US IN A RIGHT TURN. I ELECTED TO PULL THE ACFT INTO A STEEP CLB (V2) TO AVOID THE SMT. AFTER WE WERE CLR OF THE TFC, TWR INSTRUCTED US TO TURN HDG 155 DEGS AND CONTACT DEP. NO FURTHER INCIDENT. THE PROB HERE IS THAT TFC SHOULD BE SPACED FURTHER APART, OR TWR SHOULD HAVE BETTER TIMING WHEN ACFT ARE LNDG ON ONE RWY AND TAKING OFF ON AN INTERSECTING RWY.
