Shipping delays leave some shelves bare at Hawaii stores
HONOLULU (AP) Shipping delays between Hawaii and the mainland have left some grocery store shelves empty on Oahu, officials said.
Officials with Honolulu-based Matson Inc. confirmed Tuesday that deliveries have fallen behind schedule because of a combination of bad weather and mechanical problems on ships, Hawaii News Now
reported.
Some residents on Oahu have taken photos in recent days, showing grocery stores with bare dairy sections.
The shipping company said four of its ships are now docked in Honolulu Harbor. The company was working to get deliveries out to stores and restaurants as quickly as possible, a spokesperson said.
The shipping delays have also affected the produce supply.
