Supply of Two Rigid Hull Boats for British Antarctic Survey
Awarded 17 Jan 2018
About
UK Shared Business Services Limited awarded a contract to Island RIBs for the supply of two Rigid Hull Boats for the British Antarctic Survey, valued at AUD 107,000.
The craft are required to be tough and durable, capable of withstanding the polar environment, including operation in ice, beaching, and rough weather.
One boat will serve as a dive platform and the other for science operations, including transfer of personnel and equipment, deployment of sampling equipment via fixed winch, surface sampling of ice/water, and recovery of autonomous underwater vehicles.
Diving operations are conducted on SCUBA with a team of four, in compliance with UK Diving at Work Regulations 1997 and HSE Approved Code of Practice for Scientific and Archaeological Diving Projects.
The craft structure must be coded to Category 3 MCA commercial level, and the hull must come with a minimum 5-year warranty.
Delivery is required to Poole in Dorset by 10th August 2018, ready for immediate operation minus fuel.
The successful bidder is required to allow site visitation and a demonstration of a similar model post-award but pre-contract, and to submit the craft for a test drive once built.
