Following Matson Line’s lead, Horizon Lines has announced rate increases to Hawaii effecitve January 2, 2006.
The Charlotte-based shipping and logistics company says increases will vary depending on factors such as direction and transportation mode.
Shipments from the U.S. mainland served by truck will increase $125 per container. Rates for shipments from the mainland served by rail will increase $385 per container.
Rates from Hawaii to the mainland served by truck will increase $75 per container. Rates for shipments from Hawaii served by rail will increase by $335 per container.
Horizon, which went public in late September, says it needs the increases to offset higher barge and inland expenses, labor costs and capital spending on the company’s container fleet and terminals.
In addition, the company will increase its terminal handling charge by $60 per container for shipments to Hawaii and $30 per container for shipments from Hawaii. Source – Charlotte Business JournalAmerican
