Assembly of a 700-tonne gantry has commenced at berth three in Devonport to support the arrival of new Ro-Pax ferries. This infrastructure is necessary for the operation of the new Spirit of Tasmania fleet, according to a statement from Premier Jeremy Rockliff on March 8.
Designed to facilitate the loading and unloading of vehicles and freight, the Premier said the gantry is a significant component of the infrastructure required for the project at the port.
Following the installation of two western leg sections, the eastern legs are scheduled for the next phase of construction.
