Spirit of Tasmania Ferry Passengers Face 15% Fuel Surcharge Amid Soaring Fuel Prices

TT-Line, the operator of the ferry service between Victoria and Tasmania, has implemented a 15% fuel surcharge on new tickets due to a 80% increase in fuel prices. This surcharge will add significant costs for families and individuals traveling by car, with a family of four with a car and caravan paying an extra $228 each way, and two adults in a standard car paying $107 more. Existing ticket holders are not affected, and the surcharge is considered a temporary measure for partial cost recovery. The company will continue to report the extra fuel costs to government ministers and may keep the surcharge in place even when fuel prices drop to spread out the burden.
