DHX - Dependable Hawaiian Express
9/14/2017
Dear
Valued Customers,
The
following is provided for your information:
State of Hawaii Harbor
User Fee Increase and Security Fee
As previously announced in January 2017, the
State of Hawaii Department of Transportation, Harbors Division’s next wharfage increase of 15% takes effect on October 1, 2017 as part of the State’s financing plan for its
multi-year harbors modernization program. A third increase of 15% is also
scheduled with an effective date of July 1, 2018.
While rates vary depending on equipment size,
commodity and destination, for the majority of our customers the October 2017
change will result in increases of approximately $16 - $31 per container on
Oahu destined freight and $33 - $66 on Neighbor Island freight.

As a result, our less than container load (LCL) wharfage
rates will increase by 2 cents per cubic foot to Oahu and 4 cents per cubic
foot to the Neighbor Islands effective with sailings on or after October 1,
2017.
Hawaii Facility Security Fee
The State of Hawaii will increase
the Facilities Security Charge by $2.25 for Oahu and $3.37 for Neighbor Island
shipments. The charge will be $17.25 per container for Oahu and $25.87 for
Neighbor Island containers effective October 1, 2017.
The Hawaii Facilities Security Charge for
LCL will remain at 1 cent per cubic foot for Oahu. Outer Islands LCL charges
will remain at 2 cents per cubic foot. This charge appears on our invoices as a
separate line called
“Hawaii Facilities Security Charge” (aka: HFSC).
Terminal Handling Charge
(THC) – Hawaii to Guam
Because of the increase in the HFSC noted above, we are changing
our Hawaii to Guam terminal handling charges to reflect this adjustment. THC for
Hawaii to Guam sailings will increase by $0.04 per cubic foot, effective with
sailings on or after October 1, 2017.
By making the above adjustments, 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 these changes
will cause you.

please contact your local representative or call our corporate office at
