And at Kalaeloa Barbers Point Harbor, Kapolei Harborside — a 360-acre development by the James Campbell Company — is providing new infrastruc- ture, roadways and warehouses. MATSON INC. As part of a global push to sharply reduce carbon emissions by 2030, Matson is converting the Daniel K. Inouye , its fastest Aloha Class contain- ership, to operate primarily on liqui- fied natural gas (LNG). The ship will also have “flexibility to use low-sulfur marine fuel or other alternative marine fuels, such as biofu- els, when they become more avail- able,” says Len Isotoff, Matson senior vice president, Pacific. Matson’s Maunalei containership is currently servicing the carrier’s Hawaii/ China/Long Beach Express (CLX) route, which the Daniel K. Inouye will resume when conversion is complete, possibly by the end of the year. Three new Matson Aloha Class containerships, the largest contain- erships ever built in America, are also in progress at Philly Shipyard
