Breaking Alert
10/19/2018
Dear Valued Customer:
Matson Navigation Company (Matson) announced
that due to a steady increase in fuel-related costs over the last 2 months,
these costs have continued to outpace their projections. Accordingly, Matson
will change their ocean fuel surcharges. The fuel surcharge for Hawaii and
Guam/CNMI services will be increased from 37.5% to 40%, and will increase for Micronesia
from 41.5% to 44%, effective November 18,
2018.
Because of this
increase in our underlying costs, we are changing the fuel surcharge charged to
you to reflect these adjustments, effective with sailings on or after November,
18, 2018.
By making the above
rate changes, 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.
Should you have
additional questions, please contact your local representative or Customer
Service at our corporate office at 1-800-488-4888 or 1-310-537-2000, Ext. 2020.
