The Marinus Link project provides significant opportunities for suitably qualified and experienced Australian manufacturers, suppliers, contractors and subcontractors, consultants and other service providers to participate, directly or indirectly.

Lead contractors are required to provide Tasmanian and/or Victorian Industry Participation Plans that demonstrate how they will maximise opportunities for Australian companies. 

Industry Capability Network Gateway

Open works packages are published on each of our lead contractors Industry Capability Network (ICN) Gateways.

The ICN Gateway is a platform developed by Industry Capability Network (ICN) in Australia, designed to connect suppliers and buyers, particularly in major infrastructure, construction, mining, energy, and government projects.
