Project Details

Spirit of Tasmania has relocated its Victorian operations from Station Pier, Port Melbourne to Corio Quay, north of Geelong to provide an improved experience for the 450,000 passengers who travel annually and support the long-term operations of this highly valued service.

Geelong Port partnered with Spirit of Tasmania to develop a dedicated passenger and freight terminal for Spirit of Tasmania’s vessels.

The new site located within Geelong Port’s Corio Quay precinct includes a passenger terminal building, a vehicle marshalling area for 600 cars, a parking area for 150 semi trailers, crew accommodation, a café and a children’s play area. The Spirit of Tasmania – Passenger Terminal Building is located at Corio Quay Road, North Geelong. The development covers approximately 12 hectares and is now the marine and passenger terminal for Spirit of Tasmania operations.

Spirit of Tasmania chose the site to meet its future growth plans for passenger and freight services between the mainland and Tasmania. The site provides a new and improved terminal, resulting in overall efficiency in vessel operation, turn-around times and customer experience.

The facility includes a world-first three-level boarding ramp for cars, caravans and trucks to board simultaneously, an impressive terminal building providing improved amenity for passengers and staff, and the establishment of a boarding area.
