  • I was wondering what type of barge the Mauna Loa is. It is sitting here empty in Coos Bay Oregon. Do you know if it is picking up cargo or getting repairs?
    Thanks for the information.

      Aloha Rich! Sorry for the tardy reply. I would guess she is being repaired?

      Mahalo for the information, Paul. So that’s why Matson has been using the Columbia? Does the company intend to get rid of the Haleakala too?
