Phase 2, which will include improvements to the container yard and gate, will begin in 2021. In Phase 3, concurrent with the State&#8217;s completion of the new Kapalama Container Terminal, Matson will expand its waterfront and overall terminal footprint by 30 percent by acquiring adjacent piers 51A and B. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to ensuring efficient, reliable service to <span class=\"xn-location\">Hawaii<\/span> for the next three decades, Matson&#8217;s fleet renewal program is also accomplishing a broader fleet modernization that ensures compliance with increasingly stringent global emissions regulations.<\/p>\n<p>Designed and built specifically for the <span class=\"xn-location\">Hawaii<\/span> trade, all four of the new ships feature state-of-the-art green technology, including fuel-efficient hull design, environmentally safe double hull fuel tanks, Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) compatible engines, and freshwater ballast systems. \u00a0The more recent Kanaloa Class vessels are equipped with the first Tier 3 dual-fuel engines to be deployed in containerships regularly serving West Coast ports. Tier 3 engines reduce the levels of particulate emissions by 40 percent and nitrogen oxide emissions by 20 percent, as compared to Tier 2 standards.<\/p>\n<p>The four new ships are also Matson&#8217;s fastest vessels, with the ability to operate at or above 23 knots, helping ensure on-time deliveries in <span class=\"xn-location\">Hawaii<\/span> from Matson&#8217;s three West Coast terminals in Tacoma, <span class=\"xn-location\">Oakland<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Long Beach<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;<i>Matsonia&#8217;<\/i> and <i>&#8216;Lurline&#8217;<\/i> are iconic vessel names in Matson&#8217;s long history.\u00a0 <i>Matsonia<\/i> dates to the construction of Matson&#8217;s first ship of that name in 1912. Three more ships were given the name in subsequent years; the new vessel is the fifth. &#8216;<i>Lurline<\/i>&#8216; dates to the construction of Captain <span class=\"xn-person\">William Matson&#8217;s<\/span> first ship of that name in 1887. Four more ships were given the name in subsequent years; the newest vessel is the sixth.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <i><br \/>\n          <span class=\"xn-person\">Daniel K.
