BREAKING ALERT

 

 

May 21, 2025

 

 

Subject: Annual State of Hawaii Wharfage & Port Security Fee Effective July 1, 2025

 

 

Dear Valued Customer:

 

The State of Hawaii Department of Transportation, in association with their continued Harbors Division’s financing plan for its Harbors Modernization Program, has announced they will implement an increase of 4.1% to their wharfage and port security fees, effective July 1, 2025. As such, the ocean carriers will increase their related charges by the identical amounts the same day.

 

DHX-Dependable Hawaiian Express will pass through these State fees for full-container load (FCL) shipments sailing on and after Tuesday, July 1, 2025. Although this is a 4.1% increase by the State, we will increase only our less-than-container loads (LCL) wharfage fees by $0.01 per cubic foot to Oahu and $0.02 per cubic foot to Outer Islands. We will absorb the Port Facility Security Fee increase for LCL shipments.

 

Should you have additional questions, please contact your Account Executive, local sales office, or our Corporate Customer Service Center at 800-488-4888, Ext. 2020, or email us at custserv@dhx.com.

 

Thank you in advance for your understanding. We appreciate your business!
