7.1.2 The Government shall deliver the ship to the contractor at a transfer point in the navigable channel as close as possible to the contractor’s facility as agreed upon by the MSCREP and the contractor. The contractor shall accept custody of the ship upon delivery and assume total responsibility for its safety, security, and protection. The contractor shall furnish tugs, pilots, equipment, mooring lines, line handlers, safe berth, etc. to accept delivery of the vessel and safely berth the ship at the Contractor’s facility.

7.1.2.1 Contractor provided mooring lines for use on the ship shall all be of same manufacture, type, size and breaking strength, and shall be free from excessive wear or defect. Use of mixed lines to moor the ship is not permitted.

7.1.2.2 Contractor shall provide mooring lines with rated breaking strength equivalent to the ship’s lines per reference Mooring Arrangement Drawing (reference 2.2). Maximum breaking strength of contractor provided mooring lines shall not exceed rated strength of ship’s lines.

7.2 Re-delivery

7.2.1 Upon completion of successful testing, dock and sea trials, the contractor shall provide all line handlers, tugs and pilots to redeliver the ship to the government at a transfer point in the navigable channel in the vicinity of the contractor’s facility, as agreed upon by the MSCREP and the Contractor. At the time of redelivery, the contractor shall ensure that the ship is ready for service in accordance with this work package. The ship shall be thoroughly cleaned, with all parts of the ship free of dirt, debris, and garbage. Potable water systems and tanks, if entered or worked by the contractor, (including piping) shall be super-chlorinated, drained, replenished and certified fit for consumption by a qualified medical testing facility prior to dock trials, in accordance with the requirements of reference 2.1.

7.2.2 The Contractor shall provide tugs and pilots in accordance with USCG and local requirements to guide/escort the ship from the transfer point in the vicinity of the Contractor’s facility for the transit back to open ocean. In the event that sea trials and the ship repair period conclude at the sea buoy, such that the ship does not return to the Contractor’s facility, the MSCREP will issue a credit RFP to recoup the costs for these tug and pilot services.

7.2.3 Existence of any major uncorrected deficiencies, for which the contractor is responsible that adversely affect the safe navigation and/or proper operation of the ship for its intended service, shall be sufficient cause to reject redelivery of the ship pending correction of the item(s) in question. Consequential delays in redelivery, as a result of uncorrected deficiencies or unfinished work shall be the contractor’s responsibility. All tests and inspections required by this work package shall be completed prior to redelivery of the ship. Existence of a large number of uncorrected deficiencies will be sufficient cause for rejection of redelivery.

7.2.4 To ensure that the ship is in proper condition for redelivery, a final joint acceptance survey of the ship will be made by the MSCREP and the contractor at least five (5) days prior to the scheduled redelivery date. This acceptance survey will include a completion status review. Based on this survey, an agreement shall be reached between the contractor and the MSCREP regarding all remaining work requirements, the extent of further cleaning and correction of deficiencies that must be completed prior to the MSCREP accepting redelivery of the ship.
