pieces of freight on top of each other, and still know they’re both protected,” Palmer says. Lynden was working with a construction supply company that moves construction materials, appliances, and other products. During the pandemic, when purchases of appliances spiked, the company began to run out of warehouse space in Hawaii. “We worked with them to bring in appliances through ocean less-than- container load shipments and provided warehouse space to help with their space constraints,” Palmer says. Through its “One Lynden” approach, clients can make one call, and Lynden will assemble the various departments and capabilities needed to address any challenges. If a shipper needs to move oversized equipment from, for instance, Texas to Hawaii, Lynden will use its eet of trucks to move the equipment to the West Coast and then transfer it to an ocean vessel. Once it arrives in Hawaii, the process reverses. “Our One Lynden strategy means one call can solve it all,” Palmer says.

and U.S. government agencies. The company operates a eet of Jones Act- quali ed vessels and operates out of multiple port terminals. It provides reliable containerized and roll-on/roll- off cargo services that leverage its ocean transportation and inland distribution capabilities to deliver vital goods. The company’s link to Hawaii started during World War II, when a Pasha operation in San Francisco began to offer storage and truck-away services to troops as they were deployed to Hawaii. In early 1999, the company recognized the need to provide a new and competitive service to move rolling stock between the Paci c Coast and Hawaii. This sparked the creation of Pasha Hawaii and the construction of its rst vessel, the M/V Jean Anne , the rst and only modern pure car/truck carrier (PCTC) in this trade lane, and the only PCTC vessel built in the United States. PRIMARY SOLUTION PROVIDER Pasha Hawaii has evolved into a primary transportation solution for a diverse group of clients. “The company’s ongoing investments in infrastructure, including our terminals and vessels to support Hawaii’s growth, help set us apart,” says George Pasha, IV.
Pasha Hawaii is expecting the second of its two new Ohana Class container ship vessels to be delivered in 2023. The rst arrived in 2022, operating on liqui ed natural gas (LNG) from day one—the rst LNG-powered vessel to fuel on the West Coast and serve Hawaii. The second vessel will also operate on LNG and offer weekly California- Hawaii express service, with additional capacity for weekly volumes in the high-demand 45-foot dry and 40-foot refrigerated markets. The completion of the Kapalama Container Terminal (KCT) on Oahu will signi cantly improve cargo handling productivity and capabilities and serve as the future home for Pasha Hawaii’s sister company, Hawaii Stevedores. The $600-million public/private collaboration between the state of Hawaii, Hawaii Stevedores, and The Pasha Group (the parent company for Pasha Hawaii and Hawaii Stevedores) represents the single largest capital investment the harbor system has made. KCT will serve as one of the state’s most ef cient operating terminals, with an environmentally focused design incorporating state-of-the-art technologies, such as an electri ed ship- to-shore crane, regenerative energy
