Advertiser Staff

State regulators today approved an overall 13.46 percent increase in rates charged by Young Brothers Ltd. for interisland barge service.

The new rates, approved by the Public Utilities Commission, include a 9.66 percent increase for containerized cargo, a 9.22 percent increase for automobiles and “roll-on/roll-off” cargo, and a 21.26 percent increase for less-than-container-load cargo (except for Molokai and Lanai, for which the LCL increase is 12 percent).
The increases become effective for cargo booked on barges sailing on August 1.
