The Hodgman Liberal Government welcomes the announcement by Swire Shipping regarding a new container shipping service call to the Port of Hobart.
This is a strong vote of confidence in the Tasmanian economy, and another sign that under this Government the State is heading in the right direction.
Tasmania is an island state with four major working ports, all ready to do business.
New calls by any shipping operator can only improve logistics and supply chain efficiency.
This service will bring new opportunities and optionality for southern Tasmanian exporters.
The Tasmanian Government has not provided any subsidy to the shipping company for this new call at the Port of Hobart.
