Former Hawaii Superferries ALAKAI and HUAKAI have been put up for sale by the U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD). Marad had owned the vessels since purchasing them from Hawaii Superferry, LLC in 2010.
Hawaii Superferry operations were suspended in March 2009 when an exception to a state law allowing the ferry service to operate without a complete environmental impact statement expired. Plans to reopen were left open, but the company was forced into bankruptcy shortly thereafter with the Maritime Administration purchasing the vessels.
Interested in buying one of these vessels? Bids need to be be submitted before 5 p.m. on July 20, 2011. Additional information can be found in the Federal Register notice at http://federalregister.gov/a/2011-15147
