## Resource

The MV Black Marlin, one of the largest ships ever to enter Hobart’s River Derwent, is on a historic mission: lifting Tasmania’s newest and biggest battery-electric ferry, the China Zorrilla, built by local legend Incat. Originally slated for South America in April, the ferry’s journey was delayed when its original transport ship got stuck in the Persian Gulf amid global tensions—so the Black Marlin stepped in. The delicate, multi-day operation involves submerging the ship’s deck, carefully sliding the 2,000-passenger ferry into place, then pumping water out to lift everything clear. Once secured by Friday, the Black Marlin will embark on a 40-day voyage to Buenos Aires, where another complex offloading will begin. This milestone isn’t just about one ferry—it’s a major win for Tasmania’s green shipping future, with five more electric ferries in the pipeline and the potential for regular Black Marlin visits to Hobart, possibly launching a new vessel every month.
