摘要

The christening of the containership MV Maunawili on July 17, 2004, represented a momentous event for both Matson Navigation Co. and Kvaerner Philadelphia Shipyard Inc. "The christening of our second ship, the Maunawili, is cause for a true celebration," said James Andrasick, president and chief executive of Mat-son. The traditional bottle of champagne was broken against the new ship's bow by Maryanna Shaw, the great-granddaughter of Samuel Alexander, who was a founder of Alexander & Baldwin, the parent company of Matson.
