Honolulu molasses spill
The Honolulu molasses spill was a spill of 1,400 tons of molasses into Honolulu Harbor in September 2013. The spill was discovered on 9 September 2013. It was caused by a faulty pipe, for which the shipping company Matson Navigation Co. took responsibility. Molasses is an unregulated product, and neither Matson nor government officials had a contingency plan to respond to a molasses spill. Natural currents and weather are expected to eventually dilute and flush the molasses out of the harbor and a nearby lagoon.
