Where road meets sea for Tasmania, Devonport is the island's busiest Bass Strait freight gateway, handling about half of its containerised cargo at the mouth of the Mersey River. The TT-Line Spirit of Tasmania RoRo ferries anchor operations, carrying passengers and freight on overnight runs to Geelong in Victoria – more than 446,000 passengers a year – alongside dedicated Bass Strait freight services. Containers, agricultural produce and forestry goods from northern Tasmania make up the bulk of throughput. TasPorts' roughly AUD 240 million Devonport East redevelopment is upgrading terminals to take larger vessels and more freight. For forwarders, Devonport offers the fastest roll-on/roll-off link between Tasmania and the mainland, while those favouring pure container lines also use Burnie, the island's largest container port, and Bell Bay.
