Matson Maui


Sister to the Matson Kauai, the Maui heads out of Puget Sound for the Pacific, with the Olympic mountains behind her.

It may look like a boring container ship, but she can carry an interesting ballast. Below deck sits a ballast tank that can carry 2600 short tons of molasses. Hawaii doesn't export much molasses anymore, so the capability probably doesn't profit the shipping line.
