Maui to Molokai Ferry

This ferry offers commuting for staff working in West Maui resort and hotel facilities. A number of folks were telling the members of the board that it is more efficient for large groups to take the ferry than to use it. "The Molokai ferry is a life blood for the Molokai population, who need to go to work in Maui, and a decrease in our capacity to attend university, sports, culture, society and business meetings or a drop in the ferry would restrict our capacity," said Councillor Stacy Crivello, who is based in the Molokai residence.

Administrative spokesperson Rod Antone said the ferry would be supported by the major because it is important for the Molokai population. He said the deputy councilor was awaiting the council's motion for a decision before presenting his suggestion to the mayors. Crivello, and state Rep Lynn DeCoite, a Democrat who represents East Maui, Molokai, Lanai, contacted Arakawa aft breaking information that Lahaina Cruise Co. was seeking approval from the Hawaii Public Utility Commission to cut its everyday round voyages between Molokai and Maui from two to one, Antone said.

The ferry currently travels between the archipelago twice a day on a 149-passenger ship.
