Infrastructure Minister David O'Byrne addressing the new team charged with developing a long-term freight strategy for Tasmania.
THE team tasked with tackling Tasmania's freight woes met for the first time in Hobart this morning.
The meeting was closed to the media but Infrastructure Minister David O'Byrne said the forum would allow cross-industry experts to help determine the best way forward to solve Tasmanian exporters' shipping difficulties.
Local exporters have described the Bass Strait as the most expensive passage of water in the world, despite the $140 million annual Federal Government subsidy designed to reduce costs.
"Good freight logistics help protect and create Tasmanian jobs," Mr O'Byrne said.
"These experienced group members understand freight.
"They understand the complexities -- and the urgency -- because these challenges directly affect their daily lives."
Mr O'Byrne said the team would report its findings directly to the state and federal governments.
"It'll provide expert logistics and supply chain advice and help us complete a long-term Tasmanian freight strategy," he said.
Mr O'Byrne said team's first job was to identify key freight issues and put them in context.
