Matson Inc
matson.comMatson Inc (NYSE: MATX) is a Hawaii-incorporated ocean transportation and logistics company that operates scheduled container shipping services across the Pacific and provides third-party logistics services throughout North America and Asia. Revenue comes from two segments: Ocean Transportation, which charges per-container freight rates on fixed-schedule routes serving Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, and other Pacific island markets, and Logistics, which earns fees on transportation brokerage, freight forwarding, warehousing, and supply chain management services. The Ocean Transportation segment operates under the Merchant Marine Act (Jones Act) on its Hawaii and Alaska routes, which restricts domestic waterborne trade to U.S.-flagged vessels and provides a structural barrier to foreign competition.

Matson is incorporated in Hawaii and files as a holding company through its principal operating subsidiary, Matson Navigation Company, Inc.
