In the second half of 2020, will Matson Shipping consider placing orders for new ships?
According to Well-Rayocean Logistics, Matson Shipping has been increasing its investment in shipbuilding in recent years. Since 2017, it has invested more than US$900 million to build four Aloha/Kanaloa-class containers and mixed ships. The last one will be delivered by the end of this year. However, because the Jones Act of the US imposes many conditions and requirements on the shipping companies involved in the operation of domestic transportation in the US, three of the four-ship orders built at the US shipyard have been delivered to Matson Marine and have joined the Matson Marine fleet.
In August 2019, Matson Shipping’s “Kaimana Hila” vessel made its maiden voyage to China and berthed at Shanghai Port. With a loading capacity of 3653TEU, the ship is the largest ship under Matson Shipping and the largest container ship in history built by a US shipyard. It has been put into operation by China-US Express (CLX route). And Matson Hila (Kaimana Hila)’s sister ship Matson K. Inouye (Daniel K. Inouye), also in late July, transferred from Hawaii route to Sino-US Express.
