[edit] History
On 1 November 2002, Toll Holdings purchased the Brambles Shipping business, to form Toll Shipping which remains a division of the parent company.
Following Toll Holdings' investment in New Zealand's Tranz Rail in 2003, the Interislander was transferred to Toll Shipping. The company operated a daily ferry service across Cook Strait, linking the North and South Islands.[1] On 1 July 2008, the New Zealand Government purchased back the Interislander in connection with Toll NZ's rail operations (since renamed KiwiRail.
[edit] Services
Toll Shipping has dedicated roll-on roll-off cargo terminals at Melbourne's Webb Dock and at McGaw Wharf in Burnie. An on-wharf rail siding in Burnie (Toll subsidiary Pacific National bought TasRail in 2003) and a direct interface with road transport in both Melbourne and Burnie provides inter-modal transport between mainland Australia and Tasmania.
