Overview
Devonport is a small city (pop 25,000) on the NW coast of Tasmania. The port is the terminal for the Spirit of Tasmania ferry service from [Melbourne].
The Mersey River, although it could be dangerous in extreme NEly conditions, is a substantial, well sheltered all weather port. The river is navigable for about 1.5 nm until it reaches the bridge carrying the Bass Highway. This has a height limit of around 8 metres. Much of the river is taken up with commercial wharf operations and recreational vessels are moored mostly at the southern end of the river in the vicinity of the Mersey Yacht Club.

The Mersey Bluff light (Gp Fl 4, 20 sec) provides good guidance approaching Devonport. It has red sectors which define danger areas to the west and east. In particular, the eastern red sector provides warning of the Horseshoe Reef area which lies 2.5 nm to the east of the Mersey River. On approaching the river mouth, the leads bear 204 degrees. There are lit port and starboard markers defining the channel once in the river.
