Spirit Quay project
New vessels
Tourism support
Passenger and freight access
The new Spirit of Tasmania vessels will deliver significant benefit to Tasmania’s visitor economy and the broader Tasmanian economy for many years to come.
So the vessels are operating in Tasmania as soon as possible, the Tasmanian Government is ensuring the construction of berthing infrastructure at Terminal 3 is prioritised and appropriately delivered by TT-Line, and that all interfaces with TasPorts and its broader QuayLink redevelopment of Devonport Port are coordinated.
More information about the Spirit Quay project can be found on the Spirit Quay website.
