Its Ocean Transportation segment offers crucial ocean freight services connecting the domestic non-contiguous economies of Hawaii, Alaska, and Guam, alongside other island nations within Micronesia. Their diverse cargo includes everything from refrigerated foodstuffs, packaged consumer goods, building materials, and automobiles to livestock, seafood, general sustenance, and a wide array of retail and e-commerce merchandise. Additionally, the company operates an expedited express service facilitating trade between China and Long Beach, California, extending its reach to various South Pacific islands and Okinawa, Japan.

Key clients include the U.S. military, freight forwarders, major retailers, consumer goods companies, and automobile manufacturers.
