Denmark - Rescue vessels

Description

Danish Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) has been requested to procure one fast Search and Rescue (SAR) vessel for the Danish Coastal Rescue Service (DCRS) life boat station on the island of Anholt.
The vessel tendered for shall be on alert as part of the DCRS service in the waters of central Kattegat. The vessel is required to operate in harsh weather conditions which will set the baseline for the requirement to the vessel as these are further described in the tender material.The vessel is expected to perform a wide variety of operations including SAR operations, assistance to other vessels, fire fighting, towing operations, transport of patients, ‘On Scene Coordinator’ (OSC), etc. The variety of operations sets high demands for the vessel’s ability to be a safe and reliable platform for the crew to work from.It should be emphasized that this procurement of a vessel is a replacement acquisition in order to replace one decommissioned vessel and not a procurement program for more than one vessel. Besides the vessel, an initial training packet (maintenance and operational part) will be included in the acquisition.It must also be emphasized that time of delivery is of essential interest to DALO and DCRS since the latter is in an acute need of the described vessel. Accordingly DALO is seeking an already designed, potentially build, vessel that may be delivered in short time. DALO will accept offers of a newly produced vessel or a used vessel build within the last 4 years from the deadline for submitting an offer, if such a vessel meets the requirements described in the tender material.
