Matson is a mid-sized transportation and logistics company based in Honolulu, Hawaii, with origins dating to 1882 and incorporation in 1901. It operates as a leading U.S. domestic ocean carrier, moving containerized freight and automobiles between the U.S. Pacific Coast and Hawaii, Guam, and the mid-Pacific, and it runs an eastbound express service from Shanghai and Ningbo to Long Beach. The Matson Logistics unit, founded in 1987, provides North American supply chain services, including highway and rail transportation and warehousing and distribution at key West and East Coast locations.

Matson employs a workforce of several hundred and serves shippers seeking coordinated maritime and inland logistics. In May 2026, the company marked milestones in its fleet renewal program, including hull assembly on the second LNG-powered Aloha Class containership and the start of construction on a third vessel. Through its integrated network connecting Pacific trade lanes with North American and Asian gateways, Matson delivers end-to-end supply chain services from its Honolulu base.
