The Tasmanian Ports Corporation, also known as TasPorts, is the Tasmanian Governmentstate owned corporation that has responsibility for the operation and management of all ports in Tasmania, Australia. TasPorts was created for the purpose of facilitating trade for the benefit of Tasmania, an island state, through the commercial provision of infrastructure and services.
The company was established on 1 January 2006 and incorporated the state's four port companies operating at that time; Hobart Ports Corporation, Port of Launceston, Port of Devonport Corporation and Burnie Port Corporation. Historically most regional ports had their own Marine Board or similar bodies. In the 1950s there were Harbour Trusts and Marine Boards with local responsibility for movement within each local port facility.[1] Marine Boards existed in Hobart, Launceston, Burnie, Strahan, Circular Head, King Island, Flinders Island, and Devonport; and harbour trusts at Smithton and Ulverstone.
