Dear Valued Customer,
As you may have seen in news reports, the International Longshore Association (ILA), which represents dockworkers at ports on the U.S. East Coast and Gulf Coast, has announced that its members have begun a strike, following a breakdown in contract negotiations.
At this time, we are not experiencing any impact, nor do we expect any significant impact to Matson services out of Tacoma, WA. As a reminder, Matson vessels call exclusively at West Coast ports, where the current longshore union contract runs through July 1, 2028.
Should you have any questions, please contact Customer Service in Alaska at 907-349-3606 or in Auburn at 800-257-7726.
We appreciate your business and thank you for your continued support.
