Manager Corporate Communications Ms Simone Ferrier said with less than two months to go before the Spirit of Tasmania I and II service commenced on Bass Strait, it was important for the Devonport staff to have the most up-to-date information about the new vessels. " As well as providing the staff with current product information, we want to build excitement among our employees about the new service," she said. " This is a very exciting time for the company and for the state of Tasmania generally. " The new vessels will bring with them some wonderful challenges and opportunities for everybody involved - particularly our call centre staff who are TT-Line's front line in dealing with passenger bookings and queries." Ms Ferrier said the agenda for the day included motivational sessions as well as comprehensive project information briefings.
