Aloha HFS Customer,

As previously announced, the State of Hawaii Department of Transportation, Harbors Division next wharfage increase of 15% takes effect on October 1, 2017.  Part of the State’s financing plan for its multi-year harbors modernization program, a third increase of 15% is scheduled for an effective date of July 1, 2018.

While rates vary depending on equipment size, commodity and destination, for the majority of our customers the October 2017 change will result in increases of approximately $16 – $31 per container on domestic Honolulu freight and $33 – $66 on domestic Neighbor Island freight.

In addition, the State of Hawaii will increase the Facilities Security Charge by $2.25 for Oahu and $3.37 for Neighbor Island shipments. The new charge will be $17.25 per container for Oahu and $25.87 for Neighbor Island shipments effective October 1, 2017.

Honolulu Freight Service will adjust our pricing to reflect these increases effective with October 1, 2017 sailing.

For information on how this increase will affect pricing, please contact your local Account Manager or Customer Service Representative for details. 

Mahalo for shipping with Honolulu Freight Service!
