A Transmission System Operator (TSO) wants CTV vessels and crews for transporting industrial personnel and small cargo.
The tender is separated into 2 lots.
Lot 1 is for the transport of industrial personnel and small cargo from/to Dutch harbours to/from offshore platforms in the Dutch North Sea via CTVs with a minimum economic speed of 24 knots (at 85% engine power) and minimum 12 PAX capacity.
Lot 2 covers the transport of industrial personnel and small cargo from/to German harbours to/from offshore platforms in the German North Sea via CTVs with a minimum economic speed of 20 knots (at 85% engine power) and 24 PAX capacity.
The TSO intends to conclude framework agreements with 3 contractors who are to compete in so-called mini competitions for each actual requirement.
A contractor will be awarded based on vessel availability during the tendered time frame and the pricing offered in the mini competition.
Walk-to-Work vessels (W2W) are not included in the scope. If the platform boat landing for CTVs cannot be usable, the TSO may use a W2W which can access the platform via a heave compensated gangway system . This might be carried out via a separate tender
The vessels will be working in close vicinity of the platform, to provide a safe transport and step over to and from the offshore platform.
All framework agreements are for 2 years.
