Spirit of Tasmania IV is a roll-on/roll-off ferry built by Rauma Marine Constructions in Rauma, Finland. It is to be operated by Spirit of Tasmania in Australia on the Bass Strait ferry route between Geelong, Victoria and Devonport, Tasmania.
In April 2021 Rauma Marine Constructions signed a contract with Spirit of Tasmania for the construction of two ships, the Spirit of Tasmania IV and Spirit of Tasmania V. Construction commenced on 28 February 2022 with a steel-cutting ceremony. The keel was laid on 28 October 2022. It will be the first ferry on the Bass Strait route to use LNG fuel. The two ferries will replace the Spirit of Tasmania I and Spirit of Tasmania II.
The ship commenced sea trials in June 2024. In September 2024, it was handed over by Rauma Marine Constructions to Spirit of Tasmania. As at October 2024, it remained in Finland.
Due to Finland's cold winters and pack ice, the Spirit of Tasmania IV is to be mothballed in the Port of Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland.
Because of delays around the construction of an upgraded wharf at Devonport, the vessel is not scheduled to enter service until July 2026.
The ship was delivered in 2024 and will be laid up in Scotland.
