Aloha HFS Customer:

The steamship lines announced they will raise rates to and from Hawaii effective January 8, 2017. Westbound container loads will increase by $225.00 and eastbound containers by $110.00. No adjustment will be made to the terminal handling charge (THC).

As a result, it is necessary for Honolulu Freight Service to pass on this increase. Our westbound and eastbound less than container load (LCL) ocean rates will be adjusted by approximately $0.17 per cubic foot and $0.14 per cubic foot respectively. Full container load (FCL) rates will be increased the same amount as the steamship lines. These adjustments are a direct pass through of ocean carrier price increases.

In addition, the State of Hawaii will soon be announcing increases for wharfage.  The effective date has not been determined.  We will update you as soon as this is confirmed.

Should you require further information, please contact your local Account Manager or Customer Service Representative.

We appreciate your loyal support and wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
