The Honolulu station's cutoff day is Saturday. Transit time to the Honolulu station is generally 4 days. There is a sailing to the Honolulu station every Saturday. Back to Questions 4. Answering this question requires the answering of some other questions.
Cost is a function of the type of commodity being shipped, size, weight and time.
Hazardous cargo costs more to ship than non-hazardous cargo. Very heavy pieces may require special lifting equipment and appropriate accessorial charges, and Personal Effects and Household Goods usually take a different rate than regular commercial cargo. Likewise the larger the shipment is, the heavier it is, and the faster it has to get to its destination, all determine its cost. There is also the question of FOB points and who will be responsible for the cost of getting the cargo to one or our terminals. In the simplest analysis, if the cargo is sold FOB Factory, then the cost of moving the cargo from the factory to our terminal and then onto destination is the responsibility of the Consignee, the person the shipment is destined to.
