Matson South Pacific Express
(SPX) Rates for 2020
In order to offset costs associated with the
recent changes to their South Pacific Express Service (SPX) resulting in
transit time and service reliability improvements, Matson will increase rates
for the SPX service by $275 per southbound TEU and $125 per northbound TEU,
effective January 5, 2020. No adjustment will be made to Matson’s terminal
handling charge (THC) for 2020.
The following surcharges will also apply to SPX
freight, effective January 5, 2020:
Reefer Surcharge: $200 per container for all
refrigerated SPX loads
Transshipment Surcharge: $800 per container for
all SPX loads to or from Hawaii or Seattle
Matson Terminal Delivery: $250 per container for
all loads delivered to Matson Terminals in Oakland or Los Angeles (Matson
cut-off applies)
These rate adjustments are necessary to maintain
stable, reliable and convenient service tailored to our South Pacific
customers’ needs over the long term.
As always, we will continue to closely monitor
cost trends and notify you of changes accordingly, in advance.
We
appreciate your continued support and understanding of these increases.

have any questions, please contact your local DGX office or representative, or
