SUPERFERRY BEACHED UNTIL END OF MARCH

The Hawai`i Superferry will be out of commission for repairs three weeks longer than originally expected.


The interisland ferry Alakai was taken out of service Feb. 13 and was to be put back into service on March 3. On Wednesday, Superferry officials said the ship would go back into service on March 25.


The company said the work was extended announced "due to damage to Alakai's hull that occurred during the drydocking process and additional maintenance that was identified while the vessel has been in drydock."
