Hawaii Superferry ceases operations after ruling
Business Law
Hawaii's new inter-island ferry service has ceased operations in the wake of a state Supreme Court ruling.
Hawaii Superferry, which operates an Oahu-Maui catamaran that can accommodate 836 passengers and about 200 vehicles, was forced into the move Monday.
The high court rejected a state law that allowed the company to operate while an environmental study is being conducted.
Superferry said in a statement that it was "hugely disappointed" in the decision.
In order to proceed prudently, the company said it had "decided to cease operations for the present."
Superferry says it will make one additional Honolulu-Maui round trip Thursday to get vehicles back to their home islands.
