DHX - Dependable Hawaiian Express

4/17/2017

 

Matson Navigation Company (Matson) announced that due to a steady increase in fuel related costs over the last 11 months, these costs have continued to outpace their projections. Accordingly, Matson has recently increased their ocean fuel surcharge by 2.25 percentage points. The fuel surcharge for Hawaii increased from 25% to 27.25%, for Guam/CNMI from 25.5% to 27.75%, and for Micronesia from 30.5% to 32.75%, all effective with sailings on or after Sunday, April 16, 2017.

 

Because of this increase in our underlying costs, we are changing the fuel surcharge charged to you to reflect this 2.25% adjustment, effective with sailings on or after Sunday, April 16, 2017. By doing this, we are able to maintain our service levels as well as the financial stability you would expect and want from your service provider.

 

We apologize for any inconvenience this change will cause you.
