Adani has handed out a $100 million rail contract to Australian-operated Martinus Rail, which will deliver the work out of Rockhampton, Queensland.
This is the latest in the more than $450 million worth of contracts awarded for the Carmichael coal and rail project. A majority of these have been given to regional Queensland areas.
Martinus Rail will be based in Rockhampton, where Adani has also opened a business centre. Martinus Rail managing director Treaven Martinus said the company was keen to ensure regional communities saw the benefits of the significant contract.
“We are proud Australian-founded and operated company and we’ve always been highly focused on ensuring the work we deliver is resourced through regional areas that need it most, and are also often highly skilled to deliver it,” Martinus said.
“Adani’s commitments to regional jobs for Queensland is a good fit for our business, and we’re pleased to partner with a company like Adani … while also uploading the highest standards of project delivery across environmental and safety conditions.”
