The long-term future of the Port of Burnie has been secured with the lease of up to 30 years with the port’s major customer.
Strait Link, formerly Toll Shipping, has signed a heads of agreement lease with TasPorts.
Infrastructure Minister, Kerry Vincent, says the agreement outlines the key commercial terms for a lease of up to 30 years, providing long-term confidence for industry and supporting future investment in port infrastructure.
Mr Vincent says Strait Link transports a significant portion of the overnight Bass Strait freight volume, making it a vital contributor to Tasmania’s transport network.
He says the agreement ensures our exporters, manufacturers and regional communities continue to have access to reliable, daily freight services, and is also a major step toward securing the future of Tasmania’s supply chain.
