Last month was the final month in which the Hawaii Superferry was in service due to a Hawaii Supreme Court ruling which prohibited the Alakai, the actual name of the ship, from continuing service.  The ruling which suspended services stated that the Hawaii State government allowed the Superferry to operate without doing an assessment on it’s environmental impact, which was unconstitutional.

The Hawaii Superferry started service in August 2007, providing passenger and vehicle transportation between the islands of Hawaii.  Because of protests and legal issues on Maui and Kauai service was only provided between Honolulu Harbor on Oahu and Kahului Harbor on Maui.  It seems like there were so many roadblocks from the beginning, and it doesn’t look like the inter-island transportation service will be back anytime soon.

So say goodbye to the Hawaii Superferry…
