Spirit of Tasmania IV – First sea trial deemed a success

As Spirit of Tasmania IV nears completion, the ship took to the open seas for the first time on a five-day trial run. During the sea trial, the ship was put through a series of rigorous tests to check performance capabilities such as speed and maneuverability as well testing all of the key systems including the onboard safety and emergency systems.

Unique timber sourced for new Spirit of Tasmania vessels

More than 6000 lineal metres of Celery Top Pine sourced from below the waters of Lake Pieman on the state’s west coast will be used as feature wall cladding on two semi-enclosed deck spaces on the new Spirit of Tasmania vessels.

Spirit of Tasmania IV officially named and launched

The first of the new Bass Strait passenger, passenger vehicle and freight vessels, Spirit of Tasmania IV, has been officially named and launched at a ceremony at shipbuilder Rauma Marine Constructions’ (RMC) yard in Finland.
