from the mainland. Booked from Los Angeles, tracked in real time.
Alaska and Hawaii freight does not move like mainland freight. There is no trucking lane to Honolulu and no dry van to Anchorage. Everything sails or flies, capacity runs on fixed weekly schedules, and the Jones Act limits which vessels can carry it. Booking it well means knowing the sailings, the cutoffs, and what happens on the dock at both ends.
AEEM Shipping is a licensed freight forwarder (FF# 65907) and TSA/IAC certified for air cargo, and we coordinate non-contiguous moves end to end: mainland pickup and drayage to the departure port, ocean booking on Jones Act carriers, air freight when the timeline demands it, and delivery coordination on the island or Alaska side. One point of contact from origin dock to final door.
AEEM Shipping coordinates ocean and air freight to Alaska and Hawaii from anywhere in the contiguous 48, with mainland pickup, port drayage, vessel and air booking, and destination delivery handled as one move. Select a destination for lanes, transit times, and coverage details.

AEEM Shipping is an FMCSA-authorized freight broker and licensed freight forwarder headquartered in Los Angeles County (MC# 1672315, DOT# 4295954, FF# 65907), TSA/IAC certified for air cargo. Hawaii freight sails primarily from Long Beach and Oakland, Alaska freight primarily from Tacoma, and we coordinate the mainland leg to whichever port your sailing leaves from.
Honolulu runs about 5 to 6 days on the water from the West Coast, with weekly sailings and neighbor island connections beyond Oahu. Anchorage runs 3 to 4 days from Tacoma, and seasonal realities are real: Alaska project freight moves on a summer calendar, and holiday-season Hawaii capacity tightens months out. Air freight covers what the sailing schedule cannot, and vessel cutoffs are hard deadlines, so mainland pickup gets planned backward from the sailing date, not forward from the pickup date.

Straight answers on ocean, air, and island delivery.
Ocean freight from the West Coast to Honolulu runs about 7 to 9 days on the water, plus port handling on both ends. Sailings run weekly, so total door-to-door time depends on hitting the right cutoff. Air freight delivers in 1 to 2 days when the timeline is tight.
Most Alaska freight sails from Tacoma to Anchorage in 3 to 4 days, with barge service for oversized and project cargo. We coordinate the mainland leg from anywhere in the lower 48 to the departure port, timed to the sailing.
Yes. Full containers book as FCL on scheduled sailings, and smaller shipments move as LCL, consolidated with other freight. We quote both, and for recurring island freight, consolidation usually cuts the per-shipment cost.
The Jones Act requires freight moving between U.S. ports to sail on U.S.-built, U.S.-flagged vessels, which limits carrier options and shapes pricing to Hawaii and Alaska. It is priced into every honest quote, and we book on the compliant carriers that actually serve these lanes.
