Port congestion “eats” 15% of global bulk carrier capacity and 10% of container ship capacity.
When global freight is facing port congestion, almost everyone has turned their attention to Matson at the same time, a service known for its stable and fast service.
In fact, Matson is not immune to the chaotic market of goods, and has suffered a lot of delays. MATSON HAWAII and MATSON NIIHAU are typical cases.
MATSON HAWAII (ATD is 9.2 )—-China to Long Beach total T/T is 19 Days , MATSON NIIHAU（ATD is 2.SEP） 22DAYS has been used, but it is still waiting to be unloaded
What caused the delay of MATSON’s time limit?
Currently China to USA, Matson has 3 POLs, namely China —- Long Beach Express( CLX ) , China —- Long Beach Express ( CLX+), China —- Oakland (CCX )，China to Seattle(2 flights a month)
It is not difficult to find that the docks and unloading terminals of Matson on different routes are different, which also leads to the same Matson but different time-sensitive services.
The reasons are as follows:
1. Pier 3 where CLX is docked is a military terminal, which is available for unloading only by Matson
2. Both CLX+ and CCX use commercial terminals. Of course, the containers of other shipping companies can also be unloaded here, so they will all be affected by port congestion
The difference between the unloading docks determines the nature of the service, so at present, except for the CLX route, Matson will be affected by port congestion, even the same as normal Ocean.
This is why the same is MATSON, and why there is a big difference in treatment! ! !
Of course, the SAPCE of CLX’s Matson will also be more difficult to guarantee, so the phenomenon of CLX+ pretending to be CLX already exists on the market. Failure to clearly distinguish it will bring a bad experience to the guests!!!
