Tasmanian Ports Corporation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Tasmanian Ports Corporation (TasPorts) is a registered, private company fully owned by the Tasmanian Government. Tasports is responsible for the operations as well as the management of all ports in Tasmania.
The company was created on the January 1, 2006, following the incorporation of the state's four port companies at that time; Hobart Ports Corporation, Port of Launceston, Port of Devonport Corporation and Burnie Port Corporation.
TasPorts was created for the purpose of facilitating trade for the benefit of Tasmania, through the commercial provision of infrastructure and services.
