Nation in Brief | HAWAII - Protesters block new Superferry
A dozen surfing protesters blocked the Hawaii Superferry from docking on its inaugural run from Oahu to Kauai with more than 500 passengers and crew, after a successful maiden voyage to Maui.
The four-deck Alakai turned back from the harbor to the cheers of several hundred protesters beating drums and shouting Hawaiian chants along a sea wall, witnesses said. They were protesting the ferry's failure to obtain an environmental impact report before launching the first interisland ferry service.
