Matson takes delivery of new ro-ro containership from Nassco
Built by General Dynamics Nassco in San Diego, California, Lurline is the first of two Kanaloa Class con-ro vessels being built for Matson at a cost of some $250m each
Matson said Lurline also is one of its fastest vessels, with a top speed of 23 knots, helping to ensure on-time deliveries to Hawaii from the firm's three US west coast terminals in Seattle, Oakland and Long Beach
