George W. Pasha, the founder, had a large amount of acquired knowledge about the automotive industry and started the company after seeing the demand for storage and transportation.
Pasha Hawaii was providing its Horizon Spirit to help in the Puerto Rico relief effort after Hurricane Maria.
The ship transported hundreds of containers from Long Beach, California, to the Caribbean island that was so devastated by Hurricane Maria.
These ships will have a capacity of 2,525 TEUs of containers and Liquefied natural gas (LNG)-powered propulsion systems built by MAN Energy Solutions.
