Superferry Delays Delivery of Second Ship

Aloha Kakou:

Hawaii Superferry today announced that, due to economic conditions, they are delaying the delivery of their second ship for about a year.

The new ship, which was to start service to Hawaii Island in May, 2009, is almost completed and will perhaps be leased to another ferry operator or to the military in the interim.

Service between Maui and Oahu will continue as scheduled.

The delay in implementing the new ship is expected to save the company about $10 million.
