This document contains questions and answers regarding a solicitation for Resource and Capability Transportation Support during Disasters (RCTSD) in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.

A voyage needs to be defined as round-trip because in a disaster there would be limited or no backhaul opportunities. | 30 day minimum length of dedicated vessel | ||
