Kaimana Hila (2019) LNG Capable
Matson’s Kaimana Hila (IMO 9719068) inbound to Pier 53, Honolulu Harbor. She was assisted by Foss Maritime tugs Pi‘ilani and Mikioi.
She is the third Matson ship (after Daniel K. Inouye and Manukai) that has undergone a dual-fuel conversion that will enable the ship to run on liquified natural gas (LNG).
