And it appears to be permanent...
The cooperative news agency known as the Associated Press reports that a court in Hawaii has ordered a halt to journeys by the so-called Superferry.
The state Supreme Court has ruled the service's operators should not have been allowed to "bypass an environmental review."
The company, via its web site, says it's "hugely disappointed with the Supreme Court's decision," and has noted that it as operated "on a regular, reliable and responsible basis for the past 11 months."
While up and running, the Superferry had bookings of more than 250,000 people and the company is scrambling to dole out refunds and help stranded passengers.
The case has been returned to a lower court to Circuit Court, the AP says.
And, oh, guess we now bury the lead, but it looks like, as of 3/19, the company says if it can't be quarterback of the islands, it's going to pick up its Superferry and go home.
