Devonport (/ˈdɛvənpɔːrt/ DEV-ən-port; pirinilaplu/palawa kani: Limilinaturi) is a port city situated at the mouth of the Mersey River on the north-west coast of Tasmania, Australia. Positioned 47 kilometres (29 mi) east of Burnie and 98 kilometres (61 mi) north of Launceston, it is the busiest freight port on the island, managing over half Tasmania's imports and exports. Devonport's supporting industries include agriculture, manufacturing, and tourism. The City of Devonport's gross domestic product (GDP) was estimated at $3.5b in 2023.
Devonport's harbour is home to the Spirit of Tasmania's passenger terminal, facilitating roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) ferry operations connecting mainland Australia and Tasmania. In the 2022–23 fiscal year, the Port of Devonport welcomed over 450,000 passengers. The completion of the $240m Quaylink project is expected to increase this capacity by an additional 160,000 passengers annually.
