Financial Benefits of New Vessels For the current 10-ship deployment, expect the annual financial benefits of the new vessels to be approximately $28 to $31 million with almost all of the benefits beginning after the arrival of the 3rd vessel in 4Q19. Magnitude and timing of benefits subject to change based on fleet configuration and in-service timing. Actual operating costs may vary compared to those used. Analysis excludes the net effects of fuel and any changes in volume. When all four of the new vessels are fully deployed on an annual basis. Only applicable to the two Kanaloa Class vessels. Currently projected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2019. Not currently applicable given Hawaii volume currently served with a 10-ship deployment. This amount represents future potential savings in higher Hawaii volume scenarios that would have required an 11-ship deployment. Expected reduction in annual depreciation and amortization from four new vessels compared to seven existing steamships that will be scrapped.

Financial Benefits of New Vessels (continued) Expect lower dry-dock payments and amortization with incoming new vessels in the first 5 years from in-service. For 2019 and 2020, expect: Slightly lower dry-docking payments of approximately $15 million per annum Dry-docking amortization of approximately $33 million and $23 million, respectively For 2021 and 2022, expect: Dry-docking payments of approximately $31 million and $36 million, respectively Dry-docking amortization in 2021 and 2022 of approximately $25 million and $24 million, respectively # of dry-dockings 6 4 2 1 4 10 6 4 2 2 5 4 $0 $10 $20 $30 $40 $50 $60 $70 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018E 2019E 2020E 2021E 2022E $ in millions Deferred Dry-docking Payments Deferred Dry-docking Amortization

Steel Price Adjustments De minimis net impact of steel price adjustments received across the four new vessels Per the contracts, there are no further steel price adjustments on any of the new vessels No further steel price adjustments on any of the new vessels.

Benefits of the New Vessels There are a number of important benefits to the new vessels for the Hawaii service as a result of technological advancements and modern vessel design. Enhanced speed Modern design features will allow for greater speeds(1) on either conventional fuel oils or liquefied natural gas (LNG) Modernized capacity capability Additional 45-foot container capacity and reefer outlets Will allow Matson to better transport perishable goods to the islands Designed to carry construction materials more effectively Wider beam to provide enhanced stability and loadability while reducing ballast water requirements More environmentally-friendly The technology advancements in the design of the vessels will reduce fuel consumption and result in significant emissions reductions over time (1) Up to 23 knots on the Kanaloa Class vessels and up to 23.5 knots on the Aloha Class vessels.

Benefits of the New Vessels (continued) Routine maintenance, repair and dry-dock expense will be significantly lower for the new vessels versus the steamships. Maintenance and repair (M&R) expense will be lower than the steamships Increasing M&R with the steamships as they aged; difficulty in obtaining parts, specialized machining Approaching the lifecycle of the steamships (~40 years) has its challenges Systems wearing out Dwindling pool of available experienced steamship engineers No dry-dockings in the first 5 years from in-service date on the new vessels Avoid expensive steamship dry-dockings as high as $12 million per vessel Maintenance and Repair (New Vessel versus Average Steamship) Source: Management (1) Average per diem of three steamships being replaced by the new vessels. $0 $1,000 $2,000 $3,000 $4,000 $5,000 New Vessels Average Steamship (1) Maintenance and Repair ($ per day)

Benefits of the New Vessels (continued) State-of-the-art safety features State-of-the-art hull design State-of-the-art bow thrusters and a special rudder offer maneuverability advantages Can operate with fewer tugs unless difficult weather conditions The three existing C9 vessels had bow thrusters removed Necessitates additional expense to manage Bow Thruster Tunnel Side View of Rudder

Benefits of the New Vessels (continued) New vessels are dual-fuel capable New vessels can operate on traditional fuel oils and LNG Operating on LNG requires additional investment Space for LNG tanks and piping in the future Can convert space to additional container holds Continue to monitor LNG market Auto and Ro-Ro efficiencies with the Kanaloa Class ships Weekly Ro-Ro service, which we don’t have today Self-sustaining stern ramps on new vessels attached to the ship Avoids vessel shifting to Pier 32 Avoids consumption of yard space due to shoreside ramp Stern ramp allows for more productive vessel stevedoring operation Increased ramp capacity and vessel Ro-Ro opening to handle bigger Ro-Ro cargo Cylindrical C-Type LNG Tanks Ramp on the Kanaloa Class

Sand Island Investments & Benefits Vic Angoco, SVP, Pacific

Sand Island Investments Phase 1: $60 million crane program (announced August 2017) Three new gantry cranes and retrofit of three existing gantry cranes Requires electrification and other related infrastructure upgrades Phase 2: Yard and gate upgrade Lane expansion with automated gate Start in 2020 at the earliest Approximately 1 year project Phase 3: Piers 51A and 51B expansion Timing based on Pasha moving to Kapālama Container Terminal (KCT) in 2022/2023 Work involved includes demolition and rebuild to work operationally with the remaining Sand Island pier operations Approximately 1 year project The Sand Island investments we are making today are meant to address increased volume and activity over the next 40-50 years. Phases 2 and 3 will fit within our $40-50 million maintenance capex per annum target in the 2020-2024 timeframe.

Overview of Honolulu Harbor

Sand Island Operations Today Matson currently occupies Piers 51C, 52 and 53 Roll-on / Roll-off (Ro-Ro) operation at Pier 32 across from Piers 52 and 53 Load-on / Load-off (Lo-Lo) operation at Piers 51C, 52 and 53 Barge operation typically done at Pier 51C Currently have 7 ship-to-shore (STS) cranes at Sand Island 5 cranes work the line haul vessels on Piers 52 and 53 All 5 cranes electrically powered 1 crane works the barges at Pier 51C Crane is powered by a diesel generator A second crane at Pier 51C is not operational

Sand Island Operations Today (continued) 51A 51B 51C 52 Pier 32 Ro-Ro Operation The Annex 53

Sand Island Operations Today (continued) Matson is conducting Ro-Ro and Lo-Lo operations at two different pier locations Adds the expense of shifting vessel (e.g., fuel, labor, tugs and pilots) – as much as four times a month with a Ro-Ro vessel Adds the cost of moving privately-owned vehicles (POVs) from Pier 32 to our vehicle processing center (VPC) facility on Sand Island Dealers and rental car companies pick up vehicles directly at Pier 32 Adds the expense of small office and labor at Pier 32 We face a number of operational challenges with the current Sand Island configuration.

Sand Island Operations Today (continued) Terminal is congested, which is leading to increased inefficiencies and operating costs Not enough space in the container yard to run the most efficient operation Stevedoring productivity (vessel moves per hour) can be impacted – running out of chassis parking stalls leads to stacking of containers Truck turn times are modestly impacted by yard congestion Use the annex across the street from Sand Island for container and chassis overflow to help keep operations running smoothly during peak periods We face a number of operational challenges with the current Sand Island configuration.

Sand Island Operations Today (continued) The 5 current cranes on Piers 52 and 53 will not be able to work the full capacity of the 4 new vessels 3 existing cranes do not have the lift height to manage EB empties (vessels ride higher with less weight) Will have 1 less call per week with new vessels, increasing load-back volume per vessel Would be difficult to evacuate empties amongst the vessels Would result in additional operating cost to manage terminal congestion The existing cranes cannot manage the container traffic carried by the new vessels. Need additional 14’-10” lift height Need additional 9’ outreach

Sand Island Operations Today (continued) There are other issues to consider with the existing cranes. Several cranes are over 40 years old Risk of reduced availability Maintenance costs will continue to increase with age Parts obsolescence is a concern Increased crane downtime would impact service levels

Sand Island Investments – Phase 1 Pursued a plan to minimize costs, disruptions and risks. Course of action in Phase 1 includes: Purchasing 3 new gantry cranes Upgrading the power supply on 3 existing cranes (from 2.4kV to 11.5kV) Upgrading the infrastructure to support new electrical power supply Demolishing 4 existing cranes Moving one existing crane to Pier 51C

Sand Island Investments – Phase 1 Relative to operating cost today of existing cranes, financial benefits include: Lower annual crane maintenance Decrease in downtime due to newer equipment and improved diagnostics Potential for increased productivity with new modern cranes Allows full access of new vessels

Sand Island Investments – Phases 2 and 3 Phase 2 Automated and expanded gate Other yard layout improvements to address inefficiencies and improve electrical redundancy at site Phase 3 – opportunity to optimize auto / rolling-stock operations Expand into 51A and 51B when Pasha moves to KCT New auto/VPC layout to support Ro-Ro operation Optimize 51A and 51B layout; includes demolition of existing buildings, etc.

State of Alaska’s Economy (continued) A number of key economic indicators remain challenging, but GDP trend is promising. Source: http://labor.alaska.gov/trends/mar18.pdf#cover Gauging Alaska’s Economy Alaska Department of Labor & Workforce Development (March 2018) December was the 27th consecutive month Alaska has recorded job losses. Alaska’s unemployment rate is the highest in the nation, but is only two-tenths of a percentage point above its 10-year average. It’s promising for economic recovery that gross domestic product growth has been positive for three consecutive quarters after declining for the previous 17 consecutive quarters. The state’s population has remained remarkably stable during the state’s recession, although 2017 was the first year of population decline since 1988.

State of Alaska’s Economy (continued) AEDC believes job losses will turn the corner in 2018 AEDC forecasts nearly flat volume at the Port of Anchorage for the next 3 years Economic recovery trajectory highly dependent on business investment, budget fixes, etc. Residential and commercial real estate values are generally stable Number of positive contributors in the near-future: F-35 Project/ Eielson AFB- Fairbanks Other military projects Bottoming of recession is near, but the economic recovery trajectory is uncertain.

Concluding Remarks Matt Cox, Chairman and CEO

Concluding Remarks New vessels will be sources of significant long-term competitive advantage for Matson. Larger scale of new vessels coupled with leading market share allow for unique advantages Hawaii fleet renewal program on track and on budget Reaffirm expected financial benefits related to the vessel investments Matson will be fully compliant with upcoming 2020 fuel emissions regulations Expect no steamships in active deployment in 12 months Honolulu terminal investments will add to our competitive advantages.
