Tender description

Port of London Authority are looking for parties interested in supplying a commercial sea-going vessel to meet the following criteria: The vessel required will be used to carry out Hydro-graphic survey operations. Therefore it needs to offer a layout design suitable for such works. Consideration will be given to pre-owned as well as new build proposals that may be able to meet the time-frame for supply. The expected length of vessel will be in the region of 11 to 14 metres. A catamaran style of vessel is preferred due to stability requirements for hydro-graphic data recording. Acceptable material build construction is GRP/FRP. A water-jet propulsion system fitted with an electronic integrated control system is necessary. The vessel must have commercially rated inboard engines that are either diesel or diesel hybrid design. The minimum cruising speed necessary is 18 knots. Draught < 1.3 with Air Draught < 4.2.
