HONOLULU — The Hawaii Superferry's second vessel will be ready to provide service to the Big Island in May.
The ferry is being built in Mobile, Ala., and is about 75 percent complete.
Chief Executive Officer Tom Fargo says the company is working on improvements to the second ferry. It is adding an adjustable sound system and other amenities to make it more comfortable.
Rates haven't been determined yet.
The Hawaii Superferry can carry up to 800 passengers and 200 vehicles per trip. It travels between Maui and O'ahu every morning and afternoon four days a week.
