Matson Launches Green Wave with New LNG Ships

Matson, Inc. just hit two major milestones in their fleet renewal program. They began hull assembly on their second LNG-powered "Aloha Class" containership and started construction on a third one at Hanwha Philly Shipyard. These ships, costing a cool $1 billion, will replace older vessels and support Matson's Hawaii and China-Long Beach services with fast and eco-friendly transportation. What does it mean for you? If you live in Hawaii or love shopping for goods from Asia, expect quicker and greener deliveries. Plus, it's a big step in reducing shipping's carbon footprint, so you can feel a bit better about your shopping habits.
