Description
Description | The project involves the delivery and commissioning of the Spirit of Tasmania V, the second of two new, larger ferries intended to replace existing vessels. The ferry will remain in Finland until November 2025 before berthing in Europe for cost-effective crew management and final fit-out in Tasmania in the first half of 2026. The project has faced cost and timeline challenges, particularly with the Mersey River berthing facilities. The new ships will feature increased passenger and freight capacity, more cabins and recliners, expanded catering and lounges, and pet cabins for the first time. |
