Matson navngiver milliard-dyrt containerskib

Det amerikanske containerrederi Matson har navngivet det andet containerskib i Aloha Serien - Kaimana Hila. Skibet, der er opkaldt efter et vulkankrater nær Waikiki Beach på Hawaii, er på 51.400 MT, hvilket gør det til det hidtil største og dyreste containerskib bygget i USA.

Det er ikke billigt at få bygget skibe i USA. For ikke at sige at det er hundedyrt. Således har det amerikanske containerrederi Matson betalt 2,8 milliarder kroner for to amerikansk byggede containerskibe, der hver har en kapacitet på 3.600 TEU.

Overalt i verden kunne man ha bygget tilsvarende skibe langt billigere, så hvorfor bygge dem i USA.

Jo, fordi amerikanerne beskytter deres værftsindustri og indenlandske ruter via en særlig lov - Jones Act. Den sikrer at kun amerikansk byggede og ejede skibe må sejle mellem amerikanske havne. Således også mellem det amerikanske fastland og Hawaii.

Det er ikke videre liberalt, men en vældig effektiv måde at beskytte hjemmemarkedet på.

Navngivningen, der kan ses herunder, blev foretaget af det amerikanske Kongresmedlem Tulsi Gabbard der stammer fra Hawaii
