Matson shipping company

Matson to contribute $251,000 in goods and services to Tonga

The company announced last week it will contribute US$251,000 in goods and services toward disaster relief for the island nation – and scheduled a special voyage departing Auckland, New Zealand.

Its vessel Kamokuiki is due to arrive at Nuku’alofa today, Jan. 31.

Over a week ago, Matson delivered the first ocean shipment of goods to Tonga since the eruption of the underwater volcano that caused a tsunami earlier this month.
