Pasha Hawaii Transport Lines, which begins a roll-on/roll-off service for vehicles and other heavy cargo between the West Coast and Hawai'i later this month, is offering standard vehicle transport service for $899.
Competitors Matson Navigation Co. and Horizon Lines charge $996 and $994.41, respectively, to ship automobiles between Honolulu and the West Coast.
Pasha Hawaii launched a new Web site last month, www.pashahawaii.com, which provides information about the company and its ship, the MV Jean Anne, as well as details of the ship's sailing schedule, ports and rates. Pasha Hawaii's standard service offers vehicle transportation to and from its six terminals: Honolulu, Kahului, Hilo in Hawai'i and San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco in California.
It also offers a "gold service" to or from any point in the continental United States and Hawai'i.
Halekulani Corp. has bought another piece of land under its Halekulani Hotel in Waikiki. The company acquired the roughly 17 percent stake in a 27,000-square-foot parcel for about $7 million from a trust administered for the late Cenric Wodehouse, grandson of Victoria Ward.
Several other private entities own the balance of the parcel, which is leased to the hotel company. Three other parcels under the luxury hotel are owned by Halekulani Corp.
Pleasant Holidays has added new Hawai'i flights this summer aboard ATA Airlines, contributing an increased weekly capacity of nearly 8,000 air seats to the Islands.
The nonstop service flights begin June 11 and continue through the end of August. Pleasant Holidays, which has regularly scheduled daily service to Honolulu and Maui from both Los Angeles and San Francisco, will add flights to the Big Island and Kaua'i this summer.
ATA and Southwest Airlines last month launched a code-sharing agreement that allows the two carriers to sell seats on each other's flights.
