Austal: Hawaii Superferry Back in Service After Drydocking

The 107 metre high-speed vehicle-passenger ferry ‘Alakai’, built for Hawaii Superferry, has recommenced its daily service between Maui and Oahu following a period in drydock.

Annual dry docking of the vessel was brought forward by Hawaii Superferry due to inclement weather, allowing inspection of the vessel and minor repairs. Prior to dry docking, Austal had performed a temporary repair between the rudder tube and hull plating, as approved by the United States Coast Guard and classification society Germanischer Lloyd.
