The previous 'Spirit' broke records in 2000/01 with an increase from 173 to 190 return trips to Melbourne carrying nearly 300,000 passengers and 117,040 vehicles.
From Sept 1st 2002, "The Twins", Spirit of Tasmania I and Spirit of Tasmania II will provide the most convenient and readily available means of travelling to Tasmania so far in the Islands' history.

The Port of Devonport Corporation invested $3 million in new Port infrastructure to meet the needs of the new vessels. For more information go to http://www.portdev.com.au
