Superferry is still canceled and their barge is blocking berth 2b on Pier 2. It was bad enough that they took 24% of Pier 2 away from our interisland freight for their measely 20-50 vehicles per day but now they're also blocking 50% of our interisland freight docks.
It's time to get that defective barge out of Kahului Harbor. We have a serious shortage of freight dock space already and this barge is really interfering with our freight operations which supply 80% of our food and goods.
DOT wants us to wait 6 years until they finish Pier 5. We cannot put up with this for 6 more years. That barge needs to be moved out of Kahului Harbor now.
An interesting observation by one of our residents:
I really want to hear the passenger stories on this one. Sail over for the weekend and get stranded for five days! What to do? Spend big bucks on accommodations and just wait it out? Or book a last-minute flight for big bucks and leave your car behind, then rent a car when you get home so you can get around? Then wait for your car to arrive on the next non-cancelled voyage, but be sure to bring someone with you because you'll have to drop off your rental car on the way. Jeeze... thank god Superferry really goes out of its way to help, what with the 5% rental car discount!!
