Advertiser Staff
Hawaii Superferry President and CEO John Garibaldi this afternoon issued a statement thanking the governor and lawmakers for action toward restarting service of the embattled interisland ferry."We appreciate Governor Lingle's and the Legislature's timely action of signing into law a bill that allows Hawaii Superferry to operate while the state conducts an EIS (Environmental Impact Statement). Hawaii Superferry believes that the operating conditions outlined by the governor are reasonable and fair under the current circumstances," Garibaldi said.
"As we stated last week, we look forward to resuming service once all operational, regulatory and legal steps are completed."
Superferry officials declined to be more specific about the timeline for rehiring furloughed employees or when marketing and sales of tickets will resume.
