The newly launched Spirit of Tasmania IV, a roll-on/roll-off ferry, receives strengthening work to it's hull before it commences on the Bass Strait ferry route between Geelong and Devonport in Tasmania, in Melbourne on March 23, 2026. The Spirit of Tasmania IV and it's sister ship Spirit of Tasmania V have been plagued with issues from their liquefied natural gas (LPG) systems as the state government did not build a dock big enough to support it.
