Fuel Surcharge Increase – Hawaii / Guam / Micronesia
Dear
Valued Customer:
Matson
Navigation Company announced yesterday that due to rising fuel prices over the
past several months they will increase their ocean fuel surcharge by two (2)
percentage points. The fuel surcharge for Hawaii will be increased from 18% to
20%, for Guam/CNMI from 18.5% to 20.5%, and for Micronesia from 23.5% to 25.5%,
all effective with sailings on or after Sunday, November 20, 2016.
Because
of this increase in our underlying costs, we are changing the fuel surcharge
charged to you to reflect this 2% adjustment, effective November 20, 2016. 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.
If
you have any questions, please contact your local office or call us at
800-488-4888, Ext. 2020.
Thank
you for your business - we appreciate it!
Brad
