Spirit of Tasmania 1 has departed Singapore after dry dock for a range of engineering maintenance and upgrades.
The vessel’s departure was delayed by Singapore port authorities while surveyors signed off a number of minor matters. This occurred overnight.
Spirit 1 is expected to arrive in Australia on Friday 8 August.
Immediately after arriving, Spirit of Tasmania II will enter a previously planned wet dock in berth 4 west Devonport, while Spirit 1 returns to service.
Both vessels are scheduled to return to the Bass Strait run on Sunday 11 August in preparation for the peak visitor season.
