Historically, Matson vessels, including both freighters and luxury passenger ships, served the South Pacific for five decades, beginning in the 1920s. The company is proud to return to the South Pacific and provide the same level of superior customer service and on-time delivery that has distinguished Matson as a leading carrier in the Pacific serving island economies for over 130 years.
A leader in Pacific shipping, Matson's ocean transportation service is recognized for its industry leading on-time arrival performance and award-winning customer service. Its diversified fleet features four newly-built containerships, as well as combination container and roll-on, roll-off vessels and specially designed container barges. Matson's ships and assets are U.S.-built, U.S.-crewed and U.S.-operated, which provide significant advantages in the integrated trade lanes of the company's operations. Serving Hawaii continuously since 1882, Matson is uniquely experienced in carrying the wide range of commodities needed to support island economies. Matson's service to Hawaii, Guam and Micronesia is a key component of the distribution systems for island businesses, allowing customers to rely on the company's dependable vessel schedules to continually replenish inventories from distribution centers located on the U.S. Mainland.
Matson and its subsidiaries are dedicated to meeting or exceeding customer expectations, thereby ensuring customer satisfaction. Effective management and a strong commitment from all Matson employees to continually improve business processes enables Matson to accomplish this goal.
