Molokai to Oahu Ferry

Arrival to Molokai

Molokai (or one of the other Islands in Hawaii) is the most frequent way for tourists and people. Though Molokai has the least number of tourists, it has a single modern passenger airfield that arrives and departs almost every hour during the night. From Maui you can also take a trip by ferry to and from Molokai.

Dear friends and neighbours, an open cover to passengers, skippers, crew and all Molokai ferry sponsors, after almost 30 years, Sea Link of Hawaii, Inc. "SLH ") unfortunately has to stop transporting goods to Hawaii, also between Molokai and Maui, for economical reason.

It is not yet known exactly when the SLH will suspend the services, but SLH expects the transfer of its licence to the Public Utilities Commission ("PUC") to take effect sometime in the coming fewweek. SLH's transport services are controlled by the PUC and there are certain price and distance demands on all controlled transport companies.

Throughout the years, SLH has been lucky enough to be able to maintain its service, partly due to certain allowances and subventions that have allowed SLH to withstand various economical circumstances that have led to times of low passenger numbers. SLH, however, no longer has any allowances and subventions, and attempts to obtain new allowances and subventions have been fruitless.

In the meantime, it will allow commuting carriers, which receive long run government subsidies in the million range, to offer lower costs than SLH's regular fares and the possibility to change ticketing prices and timetables at will, giving them greater freedom to adapt to changes in demands on the markets.

Unfortunately, SLH is not in a position to successfully rival uncontrolled airlines that receive large government subsidies. The SLH plans to announce the consent of the PUC to the application of the SLH to waive its licence if/when such an authorisation has been granted by the PUC. It' been an honour serving our Hawaiian neighbours for the past 29 years.
