Spirit of Tasmania transports passengers, vehicles and freight
between Melbourne and Devonport, Tasmania. Spirit of Tasmania sails
nightly and also provides day sailings in times of additional
demand.
Spirit of Tasmania is also often referred to as 'tasmania ferry'
or the 'ferry to tasmania'. However, the twin Spirit of Tasmania
ships are not ferries but rather roll on/roll off ships.
Passengers have the option of taking their car on Spirit of
Tasmania. This adds value for passengers and is possible due to the
Federal Government's Bass Strait Passenger Vehicle Equalisation
Scheme which are deducted from Spirit of Tasmania's fares.
Spirit of Tasmania operates terminals at East Devonport, Tasmania
and Station Pier, Port Melbourne. Its head office and central
reservations department are located in the terminal at East
Devonport.
