Hawaii Superferry shows catamaran ferry
Hawaii Superferry, the company that plans to run interisland ferry service by 2006, has brought to the islands a boat similar to the kind it will sail, and plans tours across the state.
The Spirit of Ontario I, a massive catamaran similar but not identical to a pair of ships commissioned by Hawaii Superferry especially for local ocean conditions, arrived Wednesday in Honolulu.
It's a big enough to hold hundreds of cars, but not quite as big as the vessels commission by the company, scheduled for delivery in 2006 and 2008.
Invited guests will tour the boat Saturday night at Aloha Tower before the Spirit sails to Kauai for a Sunday afternoon public viewing at Nawiliwili Harbor. Another nighttime sail will take it to Maui for an afternoon public viewing at Kahului Harbor, then the same thing will happen in Hilo on Tuesday. "
