SPIRIT OF TASMANIA V Returned from its Second Sea Trials
FerryThe delivery of SPIRIT OF TASMANIA V to the Tasmanian TT-Line Company is now a step closer after she returned from her second sea trials during the night between Saturday and Sunday. The vessel is the second of two car and passenger ferries ordered at Rauma Marine Constructions (RMC).
