Exhibit 10.12.1

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO TP1 SPACE CHARTER AND

TRANSPORTATION SERVICE CONTRACT

This Amendment No. 1 (hereafter may be referred to as the “Amendment No. 1”) amends the TP1 Space Charter and Transportation Service Contract executed on May 9, 2004 between Horizon Lines, LLC and A.P. Moller as managing owner for and on behalf of A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S trading as Maersk Sealand (hereafter may be referred to as the “Agreement”). This Amendment No. 1 is entered into by and between Horizon Lines, LLC (hereafter may be referred to as “Horizon”) and A.P. Moller as managing owner for and on behalf of A.P Moller-Maersk A/S now trading as Maersk Line (hereafter may be referred to as “Maersk”). Horizon and Maersk shall each be considered a “Party” to this Amendment No. 1, and shall collectively be considered the “Parties”.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and in receipt of consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Except for the second line of Article 3(2) where “Maersk Sealand” shall be replaced with “Maersk Line”, all inferences in the Agreement to “Maersk Sealand” or “Maersk Sealand’s” shall be changed to “Maersk” or “Maersk’s” respectively.

 

2. Any reference to the TP1 Service in the Agreement that is not specifically addressed by a section in this Amendment shall also apply to the New TP1 Service (defined below) after the New TP1 Service is fully effective.

 

3. Amend Article 3(2) of the Agreement by inserting the following new sentence: “The Parties agree that all affiliates of A.P. Moller-Maersk A/S shall have the ability to also exercise the rights of Maersk under this Agreement.”

 

4.     (a) Amend the first paragraph of Article 4 of the Agreement to add a new second sentence to read: “First Revised Appendix 2, attached hereto, replaces and supersedes Appendix 2 on the specific dates referred to herein.”

 

  (b) Amend the third paragraph of Article 4 of the Agreement to read: “This Agreement shall also cover the U.S. domestic trade served by Horizon between the Jones Act corridors shown on First Revised Appendix 1-A attached hereto (the “Jones Act Trade”).”

 

  (c)

Amend Article 4 of the Agreement by adding a new paragraph at the end to read: “The New TP1 Service is defined to mean the operation of five New TP1 Vessels to be deployed in a weekly service between Tacoma, Oakland, and Hawaii (international cargo only), Guam, and Hong Kong and Taiwan. A “New TP1 Vessel” shall be a replacement U.S. flag vessel that is capable of performance adequate to satisfy the schedule set forth in First Revised Appendix 2, is not more than twelve (12) years old during term of this Agreement terminating on December 10, 2010 (the “Amendment No. 1 Term”), and has a minimum slot capacity of 1200 forty foot equivalent units (“FEUs”), Horizon acknowledges that none of the New TP1 Vessels will need to be drydocked for regulatory


 

maintenance or inspection during the Amendment No. 1 Term. If Horizon needs to drydock a New TP1 Vessel, whether or not the ship is actually in a drydock or laying alongside berth, during the Amendment No. 1 Term for a reason other than regulatory maintenance or inspection, Horizon’s replacement vessel may be a non-New TP1 Vessel with a minimum effective slot capacity available to Maersk from Asia of *** FEUs (“Permitted Non-New TP1 Vessel”), which may be used for a maximum of one round trip voyage. The New TP1 Service will be fully effective only upon the day of the first sailing from Asia of the first of five consecutive New TP1 Vessels, subject to two exceptions permitting substitution of two Permitted Non-New TP1 Vessels for a maximum of one round trip voyage each commencing at any time prior to July 1, 2007. The New TP1 Service shall cease to be fully effective if at any time there are not five consecutive New TP1 Vessel sailings (subject to the exceptions for a Permitted Non-New TP1 Vessel stated above); provided, however that the status of the New TP1 Service will be restored to being fully effective when there are five consecutive New TP1 or Permitted Non-New TP1 Vessel sailings. Horizon shall use its best efforts so that the New TP1 Service shall be fully effective on March 18, 2007, provided the New TP1 Service may become fully effective at a later date but not later than July 1, 2007. Horizon shall specify any such later date to Maersk in written Notice to Maersk not later than January 1, 2007. The date that Horizon notifies Maersk that the New TP1 Service is fully effective shall be the “Commencement Date”.

 

5.     (a) Amend the heading of Article 5.1.1 of the Agreement to read: “Asia-U.S. West Coast; Asia-Hawaii; Asia-Guam.”

 

  (b) Add a heading immediately before the first paragraph of Article 5.1.1 of the Agreement to read: “5.1.1.a. Asia to U.S. West Coast”.

However, if the New TP1 Service is not fully effective after the Commencement Date, then Horizon shall charter space to Maersk, and Maersk shall charter space (on a take or pay basis) from Horizon for international cargo, at the minimum effective slot capacity dedicated to Maersk from Asia, at no times less than *** FEUs, for each vessel in the New TP1 Service, used or unused, until the New TP1 Service becomes fully effective or until July 1, 2007, whichever is earlier. If the New TP1 Service is not fully effective on July 1, 2007, then Horizon shall charter space to Maersk, and Maersk shall charter space

At any time after the Commencement Date when the New TP1 Service becomes fully effective, the TP1 Service shall be considered phased out, and Sections 5.1.1.a.(i) and 5.1.1.a.(ii) shall cease to be effective. To the extent that additional capacity is from time to time available from Asia to the U.S. West Coast on vessels employed in the New TP1 Service, Maersk shall have the right, but not the obligation, to charter from Horizon additional space for international cargo on the New TP1 Service at the applicable rates set forth in First Revised Appendix 1-A and is only subject to Permitted Increases (as defined below).

7. Add a new heading to the Agreement to read: “5.1.1.b. Asia to Hawaii/Guam”. Thereunder, add a new Section 5.1.1.b. to read: “Horizon shall charter space to Maersk, and Maersk shall charter space from Horizon on a take or pay basis on vessels employed in the New TP1 Service for international cargo from (1) the marine terminal, at Maersk’s option, located in Hong Kong or Kaohsjung, Taiwan to (2) Horizon’s marine terminal in Honolulu, Hawaii or in Guam as ride-through cargo in the amount of *** FEUs per week, used or unused (to be allocated between Guam or Hawaii at Maersk’s discretion). This *** FEUs per week is in addition to the Parties’ respective capacity obligations described in Section 5.1.1.(a)(iii) as such obligations may exist from time to time. Maersk shall have the right to apply any unused FEU slot that it has paid for pursuant to this Section 5.1.l.(b) as a credit for a fully paid FEU slot on Horizon vessels that Maersk may purchase from North America to Guam pursuant to Section 5.2.2(b). Horizon’s obligation to charter space to Maersk, and Maersk’s obligation to charter space from Horizon, pursuant to this Section 5.1.1.b., and the rate applicable thereto which is set forth in First Revised Appendix 1-A, attached hereto, shall become effective on the Commencement Date.

Appendix 4

New TP1 Agreement

Procedure for adjusting CPI according to New TP1 agreement

All slot rates, excluding Puerto Rico and Alaska, as outlined on First Revised Appendix 1-A, are subject to CPI adjustments.

The slot rates will be adjusted initially on 3/18/2007 and then annually on 12/10/2007, 12/10/2008 and 12/10/2009 based on the average preceding 12 month change in the publicly available Consumer Price Urban Index, subject to a maximum adjustment cap of *** per annum allowed. This index will be used as sole adjustment factor for CPI increases to the rates as outlined on First Revised Appendix 1-A.

Only the Operating Cost percentage of the slot costs will be adjusted. Once rates have been adjusted, new base rate and operations percentage will be calculated for purpose of the next adjustment due 12 months later (see examples below and on Appendix 4 Worksheets A-D). The permitted increases of ***/ffe in the Asia/USWC/Hawaii/Guam slot rates will be applied exclusively to the “Owner/Operation” portion before the annual adjustment takes place and split according to the “then-current” percentages in effect (these increases will not be subject to fuel adjustment).

For the purpose of these examples, Fuel adjustment is not included (fuel is kept fixed in the examples at a ***/ton level, but in reality, fuel will be adjusted monthly based on the average actual fuel price and may represent a higher percentage of the base rate than shown below at time of first CPI adjustment).

Example: Trade lane Asia/USWC, Slot adjustment on 12/10/2007:

 

Starting base rate:

   ***FEU (unadjusted)

Initial Percentage representing Fuel ***

   ***

Initial Percentage representing Owner/Operation ***;

   ***

These Percentages will vary depending on fuel development/adjustments

  

Of the Owner/Operation portion:

   ***

These Percentages will vary depending on CPI development

Procedure for adjusting fuel according to New TP1 agreement

All slot rates as outlined on First Revised Appendix 1-A are subject to monthly fuel adjustments. The rates outlined in First Revised Appendix 1-A are calculated at a ***/ton fuel cost assumption. The fuel component within each slot rate will go up or down based on the actual average cost per ton for the related vessel string for the fuel purchased for the month.

 

Example: Trade lane Asia/USWC. Fuel adjustment on initial base rate:   

Starting base rate: ***/FEU (unadjusted)
