The Tasmanian Government has requested and accepted the immediate resignation of the Chair of TT-Line amid delays in the Spirit of Tasmania port infrastructure project. They did not mention Michael Grainger by name.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff appointed two infrastructure experts to manage the completion of the project, aiming to resolve ongoing issues and expedite the delivery of the new Spirit of Tasmania vessels under construction in Finland.
The new ferries will temporarily use an upgraded berth due to delays in completing the designated berth, expected by January 2026. They will only be able to carry as much freight, passengers and caravans as the current vessels.
