The Spirit of Tasmania is an iconic ferry service that operates between mainland Australia and Tasmania, transporting passengers, vehicles and cargo across Bass Strait.
Renowned for its reliability, Spirit of Tasmania plays a vital role in connecting Tasmania with the rest of Australia and vice versa.
In late 2022, Spirit of Tasmania relocated its Victorian operations from Port Melbourne to a new, purpose-built terminal in Geelong. The move to Geelong offers more space, improved facilities, modern amenities and a streamlined boarding process. The move was also undertaken to accommodate two new, larger ships – Spirit of Tasmania IV & V, which are currently under construction.
Advanced Lighting Technologies supplied an array of exterior lighting solutions as part of the Spirit of Tasmania Quay project, including road and area lighting products from Cree Lighting, solar lighting solutions from Orca Solar Lighting and battens designed for harsh environments from PRACHT.
We had to meet a number of challenging requirements on the Spirit of Tasmania Quay project, including
- Achieving compliance with the relevant Australian Standards for car park and roadway lighting
- Minimising spill light and glare
- Solving unique mounting requirements
- Considering local marine life
