HEADING FOR ROUGH WATERS

摘要

Back in April, John Garbaldi was given the key to the City of Mobile, Ala., as the president and CEO of Hawaii Superferry, the company formed back in 2003 with the dream of bringing high-speed vehicle, passenger and cargo service to the Hawaiian islands. Garbaldi probably wishes that the key could somehow help his company escape from its current situation. That's because Hawaii Superferry service has been idled by court cases and environmental protesters stemming from a Hawaii Supreme Court ruling on Aug. 23 saying that an environmental assessment should have been conducted for the ferry operation.
