A recent poll by the Honolulu Star-Bulletin shows that there is a lot of support for the Hawaii Superferry to continue service while an environmental impact study is done.

The current situation for the Hawaii Superferry has been up and down in the public eye. If you live in the isles you’ve probably had a discussion or two at work about the topic. Even Aloha Update has asked for your opinion.

But the latest poll, taken via telephone of 150 random households on the 4 major islands, says that 64 percent of the people would like the Hawaii Superferry to continue service while the court ordered environmental impact study is done.

Also from the survey, a deadlocked 42.5 for yes vs 41.4 for no, say that an environmental impact study should even be done. The remaining either don’t know or say maybe. (Not sure what a maybe answer is on this poll?) Maui and Kauai both had the highest percentage which say the study should be done.

Also in the Hawaii Superferry news is comments made by Superferry CEO John Garibaldi who has made it clear that if the Superferry service is stopped for the up to 8 months it will take to complete the environmental impact study, the Superferry would likely leave. They’ll just loose too much money. About $650,000 a week according to a Honolulu Advertiser article.
