Breaking Alert
8/27/2018
Dear Valued Customer:
Hurricane Lane
The following is an estimated arrival and container availability schedule due to numerous Matson Navigation Company (Matson) delayed vessels. This is our “best guess” based on when we believe our containers will be available to us. This should not be considered our final schedule, and is our best estimate at this time:
Vessel | Port | Breakbulk for Delivery date * |
Maunawili 165W | Honolulu | Wed 9/5 |
Mahimahi 403 | Honolulu | Currently being scheduled for delivery |
Manoa 397 | Honolulu | Mon 8/27 |
Manulani 145 | Honolulu | Wed 8/29 |
Matsonia 612 | Honolulu | Wed 8/29 |
Mokihana 379 | Honolulu | Fri 8/31 |
*Delivery is within 48 hours of breakbulk date unless requested differently. Due to the delay of these vessels, next week’s Matson schedule could also be delayed. At the time of this writing , because of the uncertainty in the Outer Island barge sailing schedules, we ask you to call your local offices/Delivering Agents for further information about your specific islands availability.
Should you have additional questions or scheduling concerns, please contact your local office. They will have better information then we currently have at this time.
Please note that Guam containers are not affected by the delays above.
