Tasmania

The recovery of two sunken tugs in Tasmania was a big logistics and engineering undertaking.

The Tasmanian airport is gearing up to become a cargo hub.

Global logistics player, Toll, has officially launched two new roll-on, roll-off (ro-ro) ships for the carriage of trucks and containers across the Bass Strait between mainland Australia and the island of Tasmania. The first commercial sailing begins in a few days on March 1. FreightWaves reviews the vessels in detail, describes the local wharf upgrades and analyses the Bass Strait trade.
