Matson is the lifeline carrier behind Apra Harbor, calling Guam's Jose D. Leon Guerrero Commercial Port on regular liner runs from Honolulu and the US West Coast. The terminal on Cabras Island handles roughly 85,000 TEU a year and moves over ninety percent of all imports into the US territory, making it indispensable for forwarders serving the island. The Foxtrot 4 to 6 container berths take containers and general cargo across about 600 metres of quay, while separate piers handle fuel and liquid bulk. Under a 2025 master plan, the Port Authority of Guam is now pursuing a wide-ranging modernisation of the facility. Hinterland distribution runs entirely by road, as Guam has no rail, so every box is trucked from the port. Because Guam is US territory, customs follows US rules and shipments from the mainland move as domestic, duty-free cargo. For larger throughput or direct Asian connections, Honolulu and Saipan in the Northern Marianas are the practical alternatives.
