Hawaii SuperFerry

The company put out a press release this week announcing that they are continuing to undergo a rigorous U.S. Coastguard certification and inspection process of our new ship named the Alakai (Pictured above undergoing sea trials).  To complete that process before transporting the first ship to Hawaii they have delayed the start of service until the end of summer. Once the trials are complete the Alakai will leave Mobile Alabama and sail to the warm waters of Hawaii to her home port.

The Hawaii SuperFerry will begin taking reservations by early summer.  Once the company becomes fully operational they will have an estimated 200 employees and provide service to Oahu, Maui and Kauai.

The ship named the Alakai will make the trip from Oahu to Kauai and Oahu to Maui in an estimated 4 hours.

8 Comments on Hawaii SuperFerry to Begin Operations Later This Summer

Randy, isn't this the SuperFerry that you wrote about in one of your earlier blogs that was getting a lot of opposition from environmental groups?

Randy.. I can definitely see where this would make sense when going from island to island.. wonder how long would it be to the Big Island?

Randy- "Oahu to Kauai and Oahu to Maui in an estimated 4 hours"  What is the distance between these islands?

George - Not a lot from the environmental groups.  The people fighting it are the same people who fight everything including our H-Power plant that is extremely environmentally friendly.

Kaye - The big island will not be serviced for another 18 to 24 months when the second ship is built and delivered.

Lisa - Kauai is real close, it is that you have to go around Oahu to get there.  It is about 100 miles travel distance.

Hey, that's great...where did my earlier comment go?  Geez, must have not hit submit..  Anyway, this may be a good idea for local business people who have business on the other island....instead of checking in at the airport, check in with the car...drive off...drive back on....and no waiting after driving off....just go home!  Great links to.  Pertains to the subject.

I have some friends in the Corvette Club.  They are planning to send the entire group across with their cars to Maui on the first voyage.

Wow Randy, I wish they would have had this when I lived there, I might have made it to the Big Island... How neat...

Lysa - I am looking forward to taking family trips with the car.
