Subject: Fuel
Increase, effective Sunday January 21, 2018
Dear Valued Customer:
Matson Navigation Company (Matson) announced that due to a
steady increase in fuel related costs over the last 3 months, these costs have
continued to outpace their projections. Accordingly, Matson will increase their
ocean fuel surcharge by 1.25 percentage points. The fuel surcharge for Hawaii
will be increased from 27.25% to 28.5%, for Guam/CNMI from 27.75% to 29%, and for
Micronesia from 32.75% to 34%, all effective with sailings on or after Sunday,
January 21, 2018.
Because of this increase in our underlying costs, we are
changing the fuel surcharge charged to you to reflect this 1.25% adjustment,
effective with sailings on or after Sunday, January 21, 2018. 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.
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.
