Matson to Lower Fuel Surcharge by 5 Percentage Points



Matson Inc. has announced that they will be lowering its fuel surcharge by 5 percentage points on November 2 due to falling ship fuel prices.  The state's largest ocean cargo carrier stated that the decrease will put the surcharge at 37.5 percent and will save customers between $100 to $175 for every container that they ship. Dave Hoppes, the senior vice president of ocean services for Matson, stated, "We are pleased to be able to make this downward adjustment to our fuel surcharge. We have been encouraged by the recent moderation in bunker fuel prices, and remain focused on diligently exploring ways in which we can maximize fuel efficiency for our fleet."
