Proposal Submission
Description:
Gas Networks Ireland (GNI) intends to establish a Qualification System (QS) for the purpose of running a competitive procurement process for the provision of Marine Towage services to support the Strategic Gas Emergency Reserve (SGER) in the Shannon Estuary. GNI has identified the requirement for a total of 160 Total Bollard Pull (TBP) of towage delivered through two 80TBP tugs with active escort notation and FiFi 1 capability to support the manoeuvring of the Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) and visiting Liquified Natural Gas Carriers (LNGCs) at the project site. This is a periodic indicative notice (PIN) and is used for information purposes only. This is not a call for competition and therefore no tender documents are available. Any future competitions will be subject to appropriate advertisement via the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU) and on www.etenders.gov.ie. GNI intends to procure marine towage services in support of the SGER. The anticipated requirement comprises the provision of two harbour tugs, each with an expected bollard pull of approximately 80 tonnes (subject to confirmation), including crewing, operation, maintenance and associated marine support services. The towage services will facilitate the safe manoeuvring, berthing and unberthing of LNGCs and FSRUs, together with emergency response and other marine operational requirements. Full details of the scope and the procurement structure will be set out in any subsequent procurement documentation.
