The Spirit of Tasmania III, a German built 174-metre long, 23, 663-tonne ocean going passenger and car ferry, moves under the Sydney Harbour bridge, 10 April 2005, on the return leg of one of its trips between Sydney and Tasmania, Australias only island state. A Tasmanian state government rescue package of 115 million dollars (89 million USD) announced 15 March, has continued the future of the financially-stricken service for another three years, with Spirit IIIs failure to make money blamed on the introduction of cheap airfares.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Spirit of Tasmania III, a magnificent ocean-going passenger and car ferry, gracefully glides beneath the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge in this photo. Captured on 10th April 2005, during one of its voyages between Sydney and Tasmania, Australia's only island state, the image showcases the grandeur and power of maritime transport. Built in Germany, this colossal vessel stretches an impressive 174 meters long and weighs a staggering 23,663 tonnes. Its sheer size is awe-inspiring as it effortlessly navigates through the waters under the majestic bridge. The Spirit of Tasmania III has become synonymous with connecting these two beautiful regions. However, financial struggles threatened to sink this vital service until a timely rescue package was announced by the Tasmanian state government on 15th March. Valued at $115 million dollars (or approximately $89 million USD), this lifeline ensured that the future of The Spirit of Tasmania III would be secured for another three years. Despite its popularity among travelers seeking scenic sea journeys or transporting their vehicles across Bass Strait, cheap airfares had impacted its profitability. Nevertheless, thanks to this generous intervention from authorities concerned about maintaining crucial transportation links within Australia's vast landscape, passengers can continue to enjoy unforgettable experiences aboard this remarkable ferry. Photographed by Greg Wood for Agence France-Presse (AFP), this stunning horizontal print captures not just a moment frozen in time but also represents resilience and determination in preserving essential maritime connections.
