SUPERFERRY COSTS SINK STATE BUDGET
A request for $414,284 in repairs to the docking barge for the Hawai`i Superferry to land at Kahului Harbor will exhaust the state harbors appropriation for ferry-related improvements, Deputy Transportation Director Mike Formby said Friday.
Funds for additional projects required to modify state harbors to accommodate the Superferry "will come from somebody other than the state," said Formby, who heads the Harbors Division.
