Spirit of Tasmania IV
Spirit of Tasmania IV is a roll-on/roll-off ferry, under construction by Rauma Marine Constructions at its shipyards in Rauma, Finland. It is to be operated by Spirit of Tasmania in Australia on the Bass Strait ferry route between Geelong, Victoria and Devonport, Tasmania. In April 2021 Rauma Marine Constructions signed a contract with Spirit of Tasmania for the construction of two ships, the Spirit of Tasmania IV and Spirit of Tasmania V. Construction commenced on 28 February 2022 with a steel-cutting ceremony. The keel was laid on 28 October 2022. It will be the first ferry on the Bass Strait route to use LNG fuel. The two ferries will replace the Spirit of Tasmania I and Spirit of Tasmania II. It is scheduled to be delivered in the first quarter of 2024. References
