Spirit of Tasmania is a maritime transportation company operating ferry sailings across Bass Strait between Geelong, Victoria and Devonport, Tasmania. The company is based at 136 Corio Quay Road, North Geelong, Victoria, Australia, and employs 51-200 people. The business traces its roots to TT-Line, which began passenger and vehicle transport across Bass Strait in 1985, with vessels including the original Spirit of Tasmania and later ships such as the Devil Cat and two ex-Superfast ferries renamed Spirit of Tasmania I and II, which began service on the Devonport–Melbourne route in 2002 after refitting in Hobart. In 2015 the fleet underwent a major refurbishment, and in 2017 TT-Line announced plans to replace the current fleet with two custom-built ships under a letter of intent with Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft.
