Martinus Haulage will be focused on delivering long-term contracted rail transport solutions and will operate with its own fleet of locomotives and wagons.
The new service will start operations in Queensland, with plans to expand across Australia, North America and Chile in line with Martinus Group’s global growth strategy.
Martinus said the launch marks a “significant milestone” in Martinus Group’s evolution into providing a full railway offering, representing the next step in the group’s journey from a rail construction projects business to a government infrastructure delivery partner, and now to an above rail operator.

“This is a natural evolution for Martinus. Our experience designing and building railways, combined with our growing role as a government infrastructure delivery partner, has positioned us to take this next step into operations.
“Together with our infrastructure development capability, we are building a complete railway offering across develop, design, build, own, operate and maintain. No-one else can offer the full above and below rail solution.”
Martinus said CRRC Ziyang Co., Ltd. was selected as its locomotive partner following a comprehensive evaluation process.
The partnership will give Martinus Haulage access to a “new-generation” fleet, supporting its entry into Queensland’s narrow gauge bulk haulage network and future expansion.
