DT Infrastructure & Samsung C&T Secure A$5B Marinus Link Contract
DT Infrastructure and Samsung C&T, operating as TasVic Greenlink, have secured the balance of works package for Stage 1 of the Marinus Link project. The contract, valued at over A$5 billion, covers civil and electrical infrastructure works including converter stations and 90 km of land cable works. Construction is slated to begin in 2026, subject to approvals, with completion targeted for 2030.
The project has garnered significant interest, with nearly 600 stakeholders attending industry engagement sessions. Over 500 subcontractors and suppliers have already registered, indicating a robust pipeline of support. DT Infrastructure CEO John Anderson expressed excitement about delivering the project in partnership with Samsung C&T. Meanwhile, Samsung C&T Australia managing director Scott Choi highlighted the company's global expertise in HVDC systems, a key aspect of the project.
The final contract value is expected to be announced by end-September 2025, preceding the commencement of construction in 2026. The successful tenderer was selected based on strong local business capability, as emphasized by Marinus Link project's CEO Stephanie McGregor. This criterion ensures the project's benefits are maximized for the local community.
The Marinus Link project, with an estimated total cost of over A$5 billion, is set to commence in 2026. DT Infrastructure and Samsung C&T, through their joint venture TasVic Greenlink, are poised to deliver the project's first stage, which includes significant civil and electrical infrastructure works. The project's progress aligns with Gamuda's ongoing commitment to renewable energy projects, as seen in the Boulder Creek Wind Farm project in Queensland.
