集装箱费用和付款
Shipping your household goods in fully protected steel-constructed ocean containers will help protect your valuables during ocean transit. You pack the container with your household goods and we ship it across the Pacific.
我们的利率是在每个集装箱的基础上计算。The cost of shipping household goods depends on the overall length of the ocean container you choose and the type of service you select. Matson offers three types of service: door to door, door to port and port to port.

How to Choose the Right Shipping Container Size for Your Move
Matson offers Full Container Load service (FCL) and will provide you with a clean, empty ocean container for loading your personal household goods.
As a point of reference, the furnishings of an average 3-bedroom home will likely fill a 20-foot container. Please measure all your furniture, boxes and other cargoes to determine the container that will meet your need.
You, as the shipper, are responsible for packing, loading and securing your personal household goods in the container. Container size availability varies by port of origin and final destination. While containers vary slightly in size, these are the inside measurements of our four basic container sizes for Hawaii, Guam and Alaska:

Obtaining Your Container For Loading
There are two ways you may receive a container for loading:
- You can arrange for a Uniform Intermodal Interchange Agreement (UIIA) approved trucking company to deliver a Matson container and pick it up after you have loaded your personal household goods.
- You can allow Matson to arrange for a trucker to deliver a container to your home or business.
The container will be delivered to you on a chassis (wheels) raising the container floor about four to five feet above the ground. Matson does not provide ramps or lift-gates, tie-downs or packing materials for loading.
If you choose to coordinate your own trucking, please be sure to ask the trucking company if they are a UIIA approved carrier. If they are unsure about their interchange status, please have them contact the UIIA at 1-877-438-8442 or visit the UIIA web-site atwww.uiia.org。
Trucking charges must be paid directly to the trucking company you have chosen.
To avoid parking violations for a container parked on a public street overnight, we strongly advise that you check with your local city officials or police department for restrictions.
Container Pick-up At Destination Port
When our vessel arrives at its destination port, your personal household goods shipment will be discharged and placed in our container yard. You or your designated trucker will be notified that the container is available for pickup.
Once your container is discharged from the vessel at the destination port, Matson allows you free time for use of the container.
- 在内地，Matson允许96小时空万博体育手机官网登录闲时间来接送，卸载并将容器卸下到Matson容器码。
- In Hawaii and Guam, Matson allows 10-days free time to pick-up, unload and return the container empty to the Matson container yard.
- 夏威夷的空闲时间从您的个人家庭用品货物供应后的第一个午夜开始。
After the free time expires, daily port storage or container detention charges will apply. If you are arranging your own trucking we highly recommend you have your trucker of choice pick up your personal household goods shipment within the allotted free time to avoid daily fees.
