Ferries withdrawn from Bass Strait after a quarter of a century
On Oct 22, 2026, at 8.30 p.m. the 'Spirit of Tasmania I' sailed on its final passenger voyage, carrying travellers to Geelong, as the TT Line prepared to bring two new ships into service. The farewell came as Spirit Quay, the new terminal in Devonport built for the 'Spirit of Tasmania IV' and 'Spirit of Tasmania V', was officially opened on that day. The new ships were a week away from their first passenger sailings. The original vessels had served the Bass Strait for more than 25 years. The shipbroker Clarksons was handling the sale of both the 'Spirit of Tasmania I' (IMO: 9158446) and the 'Spirit of Tasmania II'. The TT Line was in advanced negotiations with a number of interested parties, but could not disclose details because they were commercially confidential. It did not expect the ships to be berthed for a long period of time. The sale process was ongoing.

Ferry returned to Devonport due to medical emergency
On Sep 2, 2024, the 'Spirit of Tasmania' has been forced to turn back to the port of Devonport just 15 minutes into its overnight journey to Geelong due to a medical emergency on board shortly before 8 p.m. The ship headed back to sea once the passenger had been taken off the vessel. The ferry was originally scheduled to arrive in Geelong on Sep 3 at around 6:30 a.m., which was delayed until 8 a.m. The details of the medical incident have not been confirmed publicly.
Major drug bust on ferry
A man has been accused of trying to smuggle four kilograms of methylamphetamine and 2 kilograms of cocaine into Tasmania in the boot of a car aboard the 'Spirit of Tasmania 2'. It was one of the largest drug seizures in the state's history, with an estimated street value of more than $5 million. A 26-year-old Queensland man has been charged with drug trafficking and will appear in the Devonport Magistrates Court on Nov 6, 2023. He was caught on his arrival into Devonport in the evening of Nov 3, where his car was screened by drug detection dogs as part of a joint operation between Tasmania Police and the Australian Federal Police (AFP).
