HONOLULU -- The controversial Hawaii Superferry will resume service to Kauai on Sept. 26.

Gov. Linda Lingle and Coast Guard officials announced on Wednesday that the Superferry will have to change its schedule when it resumes service, but added that there will be increased security and a wider zone where protesters will be prohibited.

The Superferry will be required to operate on a temporary daytime schedule, instead of an evening arrival as was originally planned. When the ferry starts service again, it will arrive in Nawiliwili at about 11 a.m., officials said. The daytime arrival of the ferry at Nawiliwili will inconvenience two cruise ships and their passengers. The ships may have to move on the docks slightly and their passengers may be restricted from entering and exiting the ships for part of the day.

Meanwhile, sources said the governor met with state law enforcement officials and the Coast Guard for one hour behind closed doors to work out how different county, state and federal agencies would arrest and prosecute people protesting the controversial ferry if they breached an expanded security zone around the controversial ferry.

"It's not our desire or preference to arrest and prosecute people, but no one should mistake the restraint that was shown initially as a lack of resolve on our part," Lingle said. "The plan moved us toward restoring our state's reputation as not only a place to do business, but a place where people respect the points of view of all people."

Last month, Coast Guard crews were out-maneuvered by protesters on surfboards and the Coast Guard made no arrests after a demonstration halted the Superferry. Kauai police arrested some protesters on less-stringent state charges instead of strict federal charges.

"None of us were prepared for that level of passion and determination to halt the superferry's transit. Absolutely, that was not something that we were expecting," said Coast Guard Rear Adm. Brice O'Hara. "And if people choose to violate the terms of that security zone, there will be enforcement."

The governor said she plans to travel to Kauai before the Superferry resumes operations to meet face-to-face with opponents and supporters.
