Alakai returns to Kahului Harbor with no problems
KAHULUI – The Hawaii Superferry resumed service to Kahului Harbor on Friday morning with its damaged docking barge back in service.
Following two days of large ocean swells and heavy surge that forced Superferry to cancel operations, the Alakai made its way into Kahului as scheduled and with no problems on Friday, ferry officials said.
State Department of Transportation spokesman Scott Ishikawa said the ferry’s damaged docking barge was put back into place after inspection on Thursday. He said the “damage was not as extensive as initially feared.”
Ishikawa said that a damaged fender guard that was attached to the ferry’s docking barge was removed.
The 10-square-foot fender had hit the pier during the high surf earlier this week.
Ishikawa said there were no damages to the barge and the fender was not necessary to the barge or the ferry’s operations.
