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 Navigation Company (“Matson”) will increase rates for the
SPX service by $275 per southbound TEU and $125 per northbound TEU, effective with
sailings on or after 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.
Should
you have any questions, please contact your local DGX office or representative,
or call us
at
888-488-4888 or at 310-669-8888.
We’d
like to take this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a Happy, Healthy
and Safe Holiday Season. Happy Holidays! We hope 2020 is your best year yet!
Thank
you for your business – we appreciate it!
