TT-Line Company Pty Ltd (TT-Line), operators of Spirit of Tasmania I and II, has been operating passenger and passenger vehicle ships between Tasmania and Victoria since 1985 – firstly within the Department of Transport Tasmania and then as a state owned company wholly owned by the Tasmanian Government.

The advocacy of the Tasmanian tourism industry was a driving force behind the decision to purchase the two Spirit of Tasmania ships in 2002 and it has proven a major success.

TT-Line is committed to enhancing the Tasmanian economy. Research has shown that visitors who arrive by sea, stay in Tasmania longer, travel more broadly in regional areas and spend more in the state.

Spirit of Tasmania’s Devonport-Melbourne service is a convenient and comfortable way to travel to and from Tasmania. The twin ships depart nightly from each port and in periods of high demand, Spirit of Tasmania operates day sailings.

The Company is a significant investor in destination marketing interstate and its promotions aimed at attracting Spirit passengers also promote Tasmania more generally, also helping to attract people who arrive by air.

Over the past 26 years, the Abel Tasman (1985-1993), the original Spirit of Tasmania (1993-2002), Devil Cat (peak seasons 1997-2002), Spirit of Tasmania III (2004-2006) and the present twin ships Spirit of Tasmania I and Spirit of Tasmania II have transported more than 6 million passengers and over 2.4 million vehicles.
