NOTIFICATION OF THE REMOVAL FROM LISTING
AND REGISTRATION OF THE STATED SECURITIES

New York Stock Exchange LLC (the 'Exchange'
or the 'NYSE') hereby notifies the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the 'Commission')
of its intention to remove the entire class
of Common stock of Horizon Lines, Inc.
(the 'Company') from listing and registration
on the Exchange at the opening of business
on March 12, 2012, pursuant to the provisions
of Rule 12d2-2 (b), because, in the opinion
of the Exchange, the Common Stock is no longer
suitable for continued listing and trading
on the Exchange.

The Exchange is taking this action because
the Company had fallen below the continued
listing standard requiring a listed company
to maintain an average global market
capitalization over a consecutive 30
trading-day period of at least $15 million.
Prior to the Exchange's decision to delist
the Company's Common Stock, the Company had
fallen below two other continued listing
standards of the Exchange: the standard
requiring a company to maintain average global
market capitalization over a consecutive
30 trading-day period of at least $50 million
or total stockholders' equity of not less
than $50 million; and the standard requiring
a company to maintain an average closing
price per share of at least one dollar over
a 30 trading-day period.

1. The Exchange's Listed Company Manual,
Sections 802.01B, states, in part, that the
Exchange would promptly delist a security
of either a domestic or non-U.S. issuer when:
The issuer's average global market
capitalization over a consecutive 30
trading-day period falls below $15,000,000,
regardless of the original standard under
which the issuer listed.

2. The Exchange, on October 13, 2011,
determined that the Common Stock should
be suspended from trading before the opening
of the trading session on October 20, 2011,
and directed the preparation and filing with
the Commission of this application for the
removal of the Common Stock from listing and
registration on the Exchange. The Company was
notified by letter on October 14, 2011.

3. Pursuant to the above authorization, a press
release was issued on October 13, 2011, and
an announcement was made on the 'ticker' of
the Exchange at the close of the trading
session on October 13, 2011 and other various
dates of the proposed suspension of trading
in the Securities. Similar information was
included on the Exchange's Web site. Trading
in the Securities on the Exchange was
suspended before the opening of the trading
session on October 20, 2011.

4. On October 28, 2011, the Exchange received a
letter from the Company to request a hearing
before the Committee for Review (the 'Committee')
of the Board of Directors of NYSE Regulation
concerning the Exchange's determination, in
accordance with Section 802.00 of the Exchange's
Listed Company Manual. The Hearing was held on
February 6, 2012.

5. On February 29, 2012, the Committee issued a
decision that affirmed the determination of the
Exchange to delist the Common Stock of the
Company. Accordingly, the Exchange, having
complied with all of its procedures, is
authorized to file this application in
accordance with Section 12 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules promulgated
thereunder.
