There is currently no ferry operator providing auto and passenger ferry service between the islands of Oahu, Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii. Hawaii Superferry, a private corporation, and Hawaii Department of Transportation-Harbors Division, have embarked on an aggressive program to provide daily ferry service between these Hawaiian islands. This new service would provide a cost-effective alternative to the current modes of transportation. All major projects have their own issues that need to be resolved. This paper will describe some of the issues associated with the development of the new service; a service that is the result of a private-public partnership between the State of Hawaii and the operator, Hawaii Superferry. This paper will discuss scheduling, operating, and funding challenges, in addition to discussing some of the innovative, technical solutions.
