Pasha Hawaii says no immediate plans for fuel surcharge

Pasha Hawaii said today the company has no immediate plans to raise its shipping fuel surcharge for customers using its Hawai'i service.

Pasha's main competitors, Matson Navigation Co. and Horizon lines in recent weeks both announced increases in customer fuel surcharges to offset higher fuel costs being paid by the companies.

Pasha Hawaii carries cars, trucks and other oversized cargo between Hawai'i and California on it's 579-foot transport ship, the MV Jean Anne.
