MSC will consider both float-on/float-off (FLO/FLO) and lift-on/lift-off (LO/LO) vessel options but will not accept tug and barge solutions.
The cargo vessel must accommodate a 90-foot long, 38.25-foot wide tugboat with a 16.5-foot draft and 410.95 long-ton lightship displacement. The available load date is prompt with a 10-day layday window; the cargo is designated as last-on, first-off. Interested parties must provide vessel flag status, current storage location graphics, prospective FLO/FLO loading and discharging positions, vessel range in nautical miles, estimated load and discharge times, voyage duration, supercargo capacity, and a lump-sum price that covers all loading, stowing, securing, discharging, independent marine surveyor fees, cradle/cribbing/blocking/seafastening, towing, and demurrage rates.
All operations must comply with the U.S. Navy Towing Manual. The contractor must provide the cargo gas-free and certified by a marine gas chemist prior to discharge. Responses must be submitted via email to Jordan Morrison at jordan.a.morrison5.civ@us.navy.mil.
