Overview
The scheme provides financial assistance to Tasmanian businesses and individuals to offset the costs of shipping eligible goods by sea. Assistance is calculated based on the difference between sea freight costs and notional road freight costs over the same distance. The scheme aims to provide Tasmanian industries with equal competitive opportunities since they cannot transport goods interstate by road or rail.
Eligibility Requirements
Applicants must be Tasmanian businesses or individuals. For Northbound goods, goods must be manufactured in Tasmania. For Southbound goods, applicants must be manufacturing, mining, or primary production businesses shipping eligible raw materials and equipment from mainland Australia to Tasmania. Intrastate assistance is available for shipments between King Island, Flinders Island, Furneaux Group islands and main Tasmania.
