Pasha Hawaii proudly welcomes the newly repowered container ship
MV George II to its fleet in the Hawaii/Mainland trade lane. MV
George II joins MV George III and MV Janet Marie, operating on liquefied
natural gas (LNG) from day one in service.
LNG-powered ships significantly reduce emissions compared to diesel,
making a positive impact on our port communities. Particulate matter, the
fine black dust that’s prevalent in port neighborhoods, is 99.9% eliminated
as is sulfur, which when mixed with moisture in the air creates sulfuric acid
resulting in acidic dew and acid rain. Operating vessels on LNG also
results in a 90% reduction in NOx and a 25% reduction in CO2.
Renamed George II after the founder of this third-generation,
family-owned company, the vessel enters the midweek LHX service
from Long Beach to Honolulu, ensuring consistent and timely delivery
of critical goods to the Islands.
