• 500.1 MTON to1,000 MTON (Approx. 132,001 USG to 264,000 USG)

• 1,000.1 MTON to 1,500 MTON (Approx. 264,001 USG to 475,000 USG)

Demurrage will not be charged to the U.S. Government for the hours between completion of loading and scheduled delivery time. For Customer vessels moored at CNB, vetting (inspection and security screening) is required prior to each delivery. Vetting is normally conducted at first light, regardless of actual scheduled delivery time. Demurrage will not be charged to the U.S. Government during the hours between completion of vetting and scheduled delivery time. Each two-day delivery is considered an individual job (See Section 6 – Estimated Refuel/Defuel (Job) Requirements).

1.1.3. Demurrage. The Customer vessel will be allowed 120 minutes after scheduled delivery time to commence delivery. If the Customer vessel is responsible for delays beyond 120 minutes, the contractor is entitled to payment for demurrage as identified in the CLINs in Schedule B. Where delays are attributed to causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor or the U.S. Government, the contractor is entitled to payment of demurrage for one-half of the delay. Such circumstances include acts of God or of the public enemy; fires; floods; epidemics and severe weather.

1.4.1.3. Use of Quality Performance Information.

On a monthly basis, the COR will provide a contractor performance report to the CO. Information from these monthly COR reports will be compiled cumulatively to provide annual reports of past performance for use in past performance evaluations for future awards.

1.4.2. U.S. Government Quality Assurance.

Final determination that the services rendered are conforming is solely the responsibility of the U.S. Government. The U.S.

2.1.6. Notify Customer Vessels.

The contractor and its equipment must possess a current Bunker Convention Certificate (BCC), issued by the Singapore Maritime Port Authority, for approval to operate in Singapore coastal and inland waterways. The contractor shall provide a copy of the BCC with its proposal.

3.1. Barge Equipment Requirements.

The contractor shall have sufficient self-propelled tank barges to perform deliveries of fuel in the quantities outlined in Section

1.1. Contractor is required to comply with the maximum safe navigable draft and length at OFD (See Appendix D – Berth Information).
