About

Port of Milford Haven is seeking a supplier for the design, construction, certification, delivery and commissioning of a new Harbour Patrol Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat (RHIB) to act as a multi-role operational asset supporting statutory harbour authority functions, maritime safety, port security, emergency response and operational support activities. The successful tenderer must provide a complete turnkey solution including vessel design, construction, certification, equipment installation, commissioning, training and documentation for immediate operational deployment. The replacement vessel will succeed the existing RHIB, which has a sheltered helm position and wrap-around screen, and tenderers are also asked to submit an alternative price for a full cabin variant in line with the Scope of Requirements; photographs of the current vessel are provided within the ITT pack.

Insight

This opportunity is suited to suitably qualified and experienced vessel builders and suppliers able to deliver turnkey RHIB projects with maritime certification. Key considerations include meeting certification and commissioning requirements, delivering all equipment, training and documentation for immediate operational use, and providing accurate pricing for both the sheltered-helm replacement and the optional full cabin variant.
