Australia-Transport-Maritime-Tasmania

The Spirit of Tasmania III, a German built 174-metre long, 23,663-tonne ocean going passenger and car ferry, moves under the Sydney Harbour bridge, 10 April 2005, on the return leg of one of its trips between Sydney and Tasmania, Australia's only island state. A Tasmanian state government rescue package of 115 million dollars (89 million USD) announced 15 March, has continued the future of the financially-stricken service for another three years, with Spirit III's failure to make money blamed on the introduction of cheap airfares.
