Construction and delivery of MPV-50 vessels

Summary

The tender concerns the design, construction and delivery of two MPV-50 vessels for Rijkswaterstaat. The vessels will replace three existing ships (Rotterdam, Terschelling and Frans Naerebout) and will be used for marking operations, incident response, ecology measurements, platform provisioning, and Coast Guard support, including SAR and anti-pollution tasks. The vessels will be equipped with a sustainable power system based on dual-fuel methanol engines and a battery pack, and operations will occur within the Netherlands' EEZ. The award is based on EMVI (best price-quality ratio), with price as the sole price-weighted criterion, while quality and qualification criteria govern evaluation. The process includes pre-qualification, bid submission, and negotiations with possible requests for information via tender documents.
