Alakai Departs for Mobile

Published Jan 12, 2011 8:33 AM by The Maritime Executive

Hawaii Superferry today announced that the Alakai departs Honolulu Harbor at 3:30 pm today for Mobile, Alabama. The Alakai's 7,600-mile journey from Hawaii through the Panama Canal, directly to Mobile, will take approximately three weeks.

Alakai¹s move to Mobile is to position her for future employment. Unfortunately, as a result of the Supreme Court decision, the company doesn¹t have a business opportunity in Hawaii for the foreseeable future. Our customers require and deserve regular, reliable service. Plus, the ship has to be put to work.

Hawaii Superferry would like to thank the multitude of local citizens and businesses that have supported the company, and will continue to work with all concerned to set the conditions to allow the future operation of this wonderful ship in Hawaii.
