Subject: Matson Vessel Updates

Last week’s operation suffered badly along with the weather not cooperating.

It started with the Manoa the week before and she will continue to be a challenge for us.

The Manoa 104 could not make up the lost time and is scheduled to depart Oakland on Wed at 0800. This will bring her in on Sunday at 0600. We will keep you updated.

The Manukai 064 will be on schedule from LA (4/5 sailing - 4/9 arrival) but will take a back seat to the Manoa’s discharge.

The Matsonia 444 also left Hono late and her return to Hono (Matsonia 445) looks like Thursday am arrival on 4/13. Barge connections will be extremely tight.
