Duratec Secures $68 million Darwin Ship Lift Contract, Strengthening Infrastructure Pipeline

Duratec Limited (ASX: DUR) has secured a $68 million subcontract from the Clough BMD Joint Venture to deliver construction and commissioning works for the Darwin Ship Lift Facility’s Blast and Paint Facility. The award highlights the company’s growing presence in large-scale infrastructure and defense-related projects in northern Australia. The project is part of a broader Northern Territory Government initiative to position Darwin as a major maritime services hub. Once completed, the facility will support maintenance and servicing for defense vessels, border force operations, and commercial marine industries, including energy, tourism, and aquaculture.

Duratec’s responsibilities include building the blast and paint facility and associated infrastructure, and installing key operational systems, including water treatment, electrical, hydraulic, and ventilation components. Work is scheduled to begin in June 2026, with completion targeted between mid and late 2027. Management noted that the contract aligns with the company’s strategic focus on defense and marine sectors while reinforcing its long-standing presence in the Northern Territory. The project is expected to enhance Duratec’s order book and contribute to sustained revenue growth, supporting long-term value creation.
