About us

TasRail holds long-term contracts to provide rail logistics services to Tasmania’s heavy industries and freight forwarders. We operate in a highly competitive freight market and must provide quality services (safe, reliable and on time) to industry. Our dedicated Business Development and Customer Service Delivery teams work in very close partnership with current and prospective industry partners.

In 2022-23 TasRail recorded a rail freight task of 485 million NTKs (net tonne kilometres), or 2.85 million tonnes of freight in absolute terms.

The forestry sector was a standout performer in 2022-23, recording 12.44 per cent growth (year on year) and representing our greatest ever haul in that sector of 259 thousand tonnes for the year.

This underscores the importance and benefits of TasRail’s diversified customer portfolio across various markets.
