From The Honolulu Advertiser:
Ferry costs still climbing
quote:State spending on Hawaii Superferry continues to mount, with $5 million in additional costs so far, on top of the $40 million designated for ferry-related improvements at four harbors.
The latest request for additional funding came last week from the Department of Transportation, which is seeking an exemption from state procurement rules to increase its contract with Belt Collins Hawaii Ltd. for environmental studies from $1 million to $1.7 million.

From MSNBC:
Hawaii Superferry saga: Is the story done?
quote:HONOLULU - The Hawaii Superferry now sits forlornly in Honolulu's harbor, idled by a court ruling. It's the latest twist in the short saga of the first interisland car and passenger ferry service.
The fate of the ferry has always been choppy, from its birth in 2001, through protests, to a surprise state Supreme Court decision last week that shut down the service.
