About

Northern Lighthouse Board awarded a contract to Offspring International Ltd for the supply of mooring components in support of its fleets of floating Aids-to-Navigation (AtoNs) and ongoing statutory duties.

The majority of mooring components will be used in the deployment of navigational buoyage, which serve as markers for navigation in many of the channels, coastal regions and seaways of the United Kingdom and Ireland.

NLB services these out of Oban and currently have circa 200 buoys within their waters.

This interim requirement covers an eighteen month period to bridge the gap before a joint GLA procurement is established.

Requirements are for 4 sizes of chain (19mm to 38mm) supplied in 100 metre lengths, forelock and clenching shackles, and 5 tonne sinkers.

All components must comply with Lloyds Rules ISO 1704, with material requirement U3 to Lloyds Rules.

The contract value is £226,000.
