(10) Related Party Transactions: Effective upon the completion of the Separation, Matson ceased to be a related party of the Former Parent Company. Prior to the Separation, transactions with Former Parent Company were considered related party transactions, as discussed below. Historically, the Company provided vessel management services to A&B for its bulk sugar vessel, the MV Moku Pahu, the income of which is included in ocean transportation. Additionally, the Company expensed operating costs related to a lease for industrial warehouse space in Savannah, Georgia, that is leased from A&B. The Company also recognized the cost for equipment and repair services to the vessel and other various services provided by A&B in operating costs. The amounts of these related party transactions are as follows (in millions):
|  | Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30, |

Distributions to A&B totaled $155.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which related to the Separation. Inclusive in the distribution amount is a final net distribution of approximately $0.7 million expected to be paid during the fourth quarter of 2012 related to the settlement of certain tax liabilities of the Former Parent Company. Distributions to A&B for the proceeds from the issuance of capital stock of $21.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, have been included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements due to Matson being the successor company of the Former Parent Company for accounting purposes.
