BREAKING ALERT                                                                                     

Subject:  Hawaii Service Rates for 2024

Dear Valued Customer:

In their effort to keep pace with rising costs, Matson Navigation Company (“Matson”) announced they will increase container rates by $250 per westbound and $125 per eastbound container, effective January 7, 2024. Simultaneously, their Terminal Handling Charge (THC) will increase by $150 to $1,525 per westbound container and $90 to $790 per eastbound container. In addition, the following adjusted surcharges will apply:

As a result, our Hawaii rates will increase like amounts for Full Container Loads (FCL).

For Less-than-Container Load (LCL) cargo, our Customer rates will be raised based on various factors, including the commodity, density, and current costs. These changes will occur with shipments sailing on or after January 7, 2024. Please get in touch with your Salesperson to discuss adjustments to your rate levels.

As you may already know, the State of Hawaii increases its Wharfage and Facility Security fees annually on July 1^st. Though the increase is unknown, we anticipate a minimum of 3% of the current Hawaii Wharfage and Facility Security charges.

Due to increased costs in our Hawaii operations, we will increase our Oahu Westbound ocean delivery and related accessorial rates for service by 5%, effective January 7, 2024.

As always, we thank you for your business and confidence. Should you have any questions, please get in touch with your local Salesperson or our Customer Service Support Center at 1-800-488-4888 or 1-310-537-2000, Ext. 2020.

We wish you and your loved ones a Happy Holiday Season and a healthy and prosperous 2024.
