CMAL0106 The Supply of a Marine Evacuation System.

Descriptions

Overview.MV Caledonian Isles and MV Isle of Lewis are fitted with ships lifeboats and two MES systems incorporating 20 rafts in cradles fitted port and stbd on each ship. Both have passenger certification capacities for around 1 000 passengers and crew.These systems are around 20 years old now and we require these to be replaced. CMAL would like to look at the possibility of removing the lifeboats and incorporating all LSA evacuation with the MES systems supplemented by rafts of at least 100 person capacities. As there are a number of studies into the effectiveness of MES systems at present and with these likely to report during the tender exercise CMAL would like to receive tenders for total MES evacuation and MES evacuation supplemented by the already fitted lifeboats. It is intended to carry out MES change-out on Isle of Lewis this year with an option to change-out on Caledonian Isles next year.Scope of Supply.An approved MES twin slide system fitted both port and stbd incorporating rafts (100 capacity min) and cradles to match PC numbers for all MES evacuation and including the already fitted lifeboat evacuation.— Mode 1: 966 passengers and 34 crew evacuated on MES system alone;— Mode 2: 666 passengers and 34 crew evacuated in MES with 300 away on lifeboats.A technical specification is required for the chosen shipyard to follow to ensure correct installation prior to supplier commissioning. The MES units are required to fit in existing openings and as such a design document will be required to presented with the tender submission. This commissioning should include one deployment incorporating removal servicing re-packing and re-fitting on the ship. Please include any exclusion to supply to also ensure no delay. Commissioning should include training for at least 40 persons prior to deployment.— If MV Isle of Lewis is chosen as 2015/16 MES change-out then MV Caledonian isles will be completed in 2016/17. Please cost for same scope of supply as above.— Please include as an option a fixed price service contract for each ship set for 8 years including 2 deployments. This service should include all service work excluding only accidental damage, vandalism of system and crane-age at shipyards for removal and re-fitting. Transportation to and from shipyards in Mersey, Clyde and Aberdeen should be included.— Please also include a suppliers cost as to how he would ensure a 5-day turnaround of both units at ships docking period. This may involve holding a ‘spare’ system at either suppliers or owners cost. Please define at time of tendering.— Supply a comprehensive training programme including costs relating to carrying out shore side training of the chosen system in future years to ensure Manila agreement training requirements are met.Disposal of existing MES and rafts.
