Superferry's lazy Kahului Harbor directions lead motorists to believe the entrance is on Wharf Street. This explains why I saw a car parked mostly on the sidewalk causing problems for the large container trucks trying to exit the freight entrance on Warf Street.
Considering they are under court order to mitigate traffic, I wonder what Judge August will say when he sees their web page directing customers to Wharf street instead of the vehicle entrance on Pu'unene.
How hard is it to say, "If you arrive on foot, got to the Wharf Street entrance. If you are being dropped off by motor vehicle go to Pu'unene. (And also how hard is it for the security guard standing on Warf St. to tell motorists they can't park on the Warf street sidewalk while they unload and that they should either enter the yard to unload or go around.)
On another note, a government official told West Hawai'i Today newspaper that the Superferry wasn't having much affect on Kahului traffic. Do you suppose that is because they're running at only 10% capacity?
But even at these low capacities, there are reports of more people trying to smuggle contraband onto and off of Maui in Superferry vehicles including opihi, nets, cut wood, and plant materials.
