Rate Changes
The
following rate changes will apply accordingly:
Oahu Delivery Increase
The
Western Motor Tariff Bureau recently announced a 10% increase that was filed
with the Hawaiian Public Utilities Commission with an effective date of
November 26, 2015, due to an increase in general operational
costs.
In order
to continue providing service levels that our Customers have become accustomed
to, our rising costs in Oahu labor and operating costs are causing us to
announce a 5% increase in our trucking related rates, effective with deliveries
on or after January 1, 2016.
Fuel Surcharge Hawaii/Guam
Due to
the recent moderation in fuel prices, Matson Navigation lowered its fuel
surcharge by two percentage points for its Hawaii, Guam/CNMI and Micronesia
services. The fuel surcharge for Hawaii was reduced from 22.5% to 20.5%, for
Guam/CNMI from 23% to 21%, effective Sunday, October 4, 2015.
As a result, our fuel
surcharges were adjusted downward by like amounts, effective with sailings on
or after October 4, 2015.
We will continue to
monitor and adjust the fuel surcharges accordingly.
Thank you for your understanding in these matters.
