As a result of high fuel prices and other energy related costs, Aloha Freight Forwarder’s primary steamship line partner is raising the ocean fuel surcharge by 5% from 34.5% to 39.5% for Hawaii service, effective March 23, 2014. This is the first increase over the course of the last year, after 3 consecutive FSC decreases during the same time period. The steamship lines prices represent a major part of our operating cost, so Aloha Freight Forwarders will be passing through this cost for all shipments beginning on March 23, 2014. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
