That was the blunt response from TT Line CEO Bernard Dwyer on Friday when he was asked how busy the company was with bookings for the Spirit of Tasmania.

Mr Dwyer was in Launceston announcing the first Tasmania tender for the fit out of the new Spirit of Tasmania ships currently being built by Finnish shipbuilder Rauma Marine Constructions.

Kings Meadows manufacturer Crisp Bros and Haywards will be providing about 300 steel lashing points for the vessels to form part of a system that locks freight trailers down for the Bass Strait crossing.

Mr Dwyer said that while the construction was underway, the company was dealing with a high demand for the existing vessels.

"We are very busy at the moment. We have a space limitation at the moment for caravans and campervans," he said.

"We review this every week in relation to any more sailings we could put on to take up the demand both ways.

"At the moment people need to just keep talking to our contact centre, going through our internet platform, because the waitlists are cleared quite regularly. Opportunities do come up quite regularly, as people have to change their plans.

"Keep putting yourself on those waitlists, but we are very, very busy. Which is fantastic for the tourism industry in this state."

Mr Dwyer said following the COVID pandemic it was clear that people were yet to return to international travel in considerable numbers, and domestic travel had accelerated as interstate borders had reopened.

"The tourism industry in Tasmania is seeing quite a high visitation to the high end properties, so people have got pent up savings and they want to spend that money celebrating the fact they got through two-and-a-half years of really interesting times."

He said demand was "even" in both sailing directions.
