Fredag d. 28. oktober, var der køllægning af australske TT-Line’s nye færge SPIRIT OF TASMANIA IV på det finske værft Rauma Marine Constructions (RMC).
“This keel laying ceremony is another important milestone for the project that takes us one step closer to having new vessels crossing Bass Strait. We’re excited to join our partners RMC for the occasion and celebrate the build for SPIRIT OF TASMANIA IV tracking on time for delivery in the first quarter of 2024.”
Bernard Dwyer, Spirit of Tasmania CEO and Managing Director
SPIRIT OF TASMANIA IV skulle oprindelig havde været leveret i slutningen af 2023, men pga. forsinkelserne på MYSTAR, er leveringsdatoen blevet ændret til 1. kvartal 2024.
“The arrival of the two new ferries in Australia in 2024 will be a significant moment for the company,” “Forty per cent larger than the current vessels, the investment we are making in these vessels is a once in a generation event that will deliver important benefits to Tasmania’s visitor economy and the broader economy.”
