About MS Princess of Tasmania

MS Princess of Tasmania was an Australian-built roll-on/roll-off passenger ferry commissioned by the Australian National Line (ANL) to operate a vehicle and passenger service across Bass Strait between mainland Australia and Tasmania. Constructed by the State Dockyard at Newcastle, New South Wales, the vessel was designed to modernise the Devonport to Melbourne route by enabling vehicles to be driven directly on and off the ship, significantly reducing loading times and improving service capacity. Laid down on 15 November 1957 and launched on 15 December 1958, Princess of Tasmania was, at the time of her launch, the largest roll-on roll-off passenger ship in the Southern Hemisphere and the largest vessel ever built in Australia.
