A. PART I – TANK TIME BOXES:

1. Vessel Required:

a. General: The U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM) requires one, U.S. or foreign flagged Tanker vessel to be used during Exercise SEACAT 2023 as part of a boarding exercises from 15 August 2023 to 26 August 2023. Exercise workshop will be conducted in Singapore from 15-17 August, and then during the underway phase from 17 August 2023 to 26 August 2023. The vessels will serve as training platform to facilitate boarding exercises in the Southeast Asia. The place/range of delivery will be Singapore or a designated anchorage in the vicinity of Singapore. The place/range of redelivery will be Manila, Philippines or a designated anchorage in the vicinity of Manila. The layday commences 15 August 2023, 0800 local and cancels 15 August 2023, 1600 local; and the period of performance will be 12 days.

On 15 August 2022, the second vessel will be available in Singapore to support a VBSS training workshop taking place in Singapore from 15-17 August. On 17 August a small US Coast Detachment of six (6) passengers will embark in Singapore. The vessel will then depart Singapore on 18 or 19 August to proceed northeast IVO Brunei in the South China Sea, then continue northeast towards Kota Kinabalu, then continue up north to Palawan and finally to Manila, Philippines, by 26 August where the Coast Guard detachment (USCG det.) will disembark on or around 26 Aug with vessel off. Following is a notional schedule:

15 Aug MSC On-Hire Inspection

15-17 Aug In port Singapore to support in-person VBSS Training

18 Aug Embark USCG det.

18 or 19 Aug Depart Singapore

22 Aug Arrive OPAREA 1 IVO Brunei

23 Aug Arrive OPAREA 2 IVO Kota, Kinabalu

24 and 25 Aug Arrive OPAREA 3 IVO Palawan, Philippines

26 Aug Arrive Manila, Philippines

26 Aug Disembark USCG det.

26 Aug MSC Off-hire inspection

On 15 August at 1200 hrs (Local) or upon completion of the on vessel on-hire process, a meeting will be conducted, either in person in Singapore or a teleconference via CISCO WEBEX, to review the concept of operations with the vessel’s crew. On 17 Aug at 1600 hrs (Local), the USCG det. will embark the vessel.

During the duration of the exercise, the vessel will receive instructions to reach waypoints at set times. Communication will primarily be conducted via email, with Satellite Phone. All vessels will be equipped with a satellite phone in the event that all other available communication methods fail. The vessel will have onboard as a member of the crew at least one proficient English speaker. Vessels will be required to report via email their current position, course, and speed every two hours.

Communication will be facilitated onboard by the presence of US government representatives in the form of the USCG det.

Security forces from partner nations participating in the exercise will conduct compliant boarding at sea for training purposes in the Visit, Board, Search, & Seizure (VBSS) training scenario at designated locations during the transit. These scenarios will be provided in advance to the ship’s Master. These boarding exercises will be facilitated by U.S. Coast Guard detachment of up to six (6) members who will be onboard the chartered vessel for the duration of the exercise. The detachment will supervise partner nation security forces conducting the boarding, providing feedback and training during the exercises. The USCG det. will require messing and berthing onboard the vessel during their stay. These costs shall be included in the charter rate.

During the boarding operations, vessels will respond to queries and comply with directions from the USCG det. and partner nation security forces. Safety is paramount and no vessel will be expected to conduct a maneuver considered unsafe by its Master.

Boardings by these partner nation security forces on the vessel are expected to occur in operational areas off the coasts of Brunei and the Philippines. Exact operation areas will be identified prior to the start of the exercise and may be adjusted to obtain improved sea states or less maritime traffic. Boarding scenarios may include security personnel “fast-roping” from a helicopter if the vessel characteristics & safety considerations permit, and the Master is in concurrence. The ultimate decision to conduct fast roping would lie with the vessel Master.

b. The Government will consider vessels with the following specifics:
