About Matson
Honolulu-based Matson has connected U.S. Pacific islands since 1882 and today fields ≈69 000 TEU across 29 ships—just 0.2 % of global capacity. Its premium China–Long Beach Express (CLX) makes the Pacific crossing in as little as 10 days, with MAX/CLX+ strings adding speed and space. Fleet modernisation is under way: three 3 600 TEU LNG-powered “Aloha-2” ships ordered at Philly Shipyard will join in 2026-27, lifting efficiency and cutting CO₂. Matson’s U.S.-flag fleet also secures Jones-Act capacity for Hawaii, Alaska and Guam customers. TrackCargo taps Matson’s EDI feed and live AIS to refresh milestones every 10 min and merge multiple containers under one BL—delivering a single timeline from gate-in to POD.
