Hawaii Superferry will suspend service for at least two weeks starting Feb. 13 as it repairs its rudders.

The Superferry has been plagued by cancellations in the past two months, mostly due to bad weather or problems with the Maui harbor.

The company said today it would put the ship in dry dock for "approximately two weeks" for repairs related to the vessel's auxiliary rudders.

The company said it was "taking advantage of the off-peak travel season" to make the repairs. It said the repairs to the rudders will enhance passenger comfort.

"Voyages have been canceled during this period, with service expected to resume March 3," the company said.

Passengers with reservations for the two weeks will get a refund or a ticket for a later date.

"We appreciate the patience and understanding of our passengers while our vessel is out of service," said Lani Olds, a spokeswoman for the Hawaii Superferry.
