Freight
services
Freight
forwarders now have the option of delivering their
freight to
the wharf as late as 30 minutes prior to departure
(on a pre-arranged/booked
basis) on the day of sailing, with same day shipment.
The
specialised roll on/roll off service, with modern facilities
both on board and ashore, allow TT-Line's freight service
to be tailored for individual freight forwarders who
have 'just
in time' freight.
With
the integration of the passenger service, freight
enjoys the benefit
of a fast, efficient and reliable service. In fact,
TT-Line's Spirit
of Tasmania I & II are the only vessels
currently operating
across Bass Strait, which have been fitted with stabilisers,
further enhancing the quality and condition of the
freight
at the port of discharge.
TT-Line
can even guarantee freight forwarders that their freight
will be
available for pick up within 90 minutes of the ships arrival.
Transport
Each
vessel's stern and bow door operation provides a unique drive
through service, which allows for a fast, reliable
and efficient
freight service.
TT-Line's
freight service specialises in roll on/roll off freight
and has
the capability of accommodating all types of wheeled vehicles
from 40 foot to 48 foot pantechnicons to overdimensional wheel
units. TT-Line's vessels easily accommodate B-Double
configured freight units.
TT-Line also gives the option of driving your own truck on board the ship or in the terminal once you have vacated the ship. Alternatively, let one of TT-Line's qualified staff members to do it for you.
Please
note, as TT-Line's freight is operated in conjunction
with a passenger
service, our capabilities of transporting dangerous/hazardous
cargo is limited. Furthermore, TT-Line does not have the
infrastructure to provide land transportation.
Quality
All
freight is on wheels, with minimal or no reversing
due to the convenience
of TT-Line's unique below deck drive through design.
Freight units are carried safely below deck and are
not exposed
to weather or salt air. Freight is carried with passenger ship
comfort and reliability.
All freight is secured using lashings or 'elephant feet'.

freight service has a permanent allocation of space
on each
and every sailing throughout the year to accommodate

of our regular freight-forwarding clients. TT-Line

hesitation, provide agreed guaranteed space allocation on
all sailings to meet the necessary requirements and
shipping patterns
of any freight forwarder.
