Procurement of Level 2 ETC Services in North Central Queensland
As a result of the Inter-Governmental Agreement on the National Maritime Emergency Response Arrangements (NMERA), AMSA will provide emergency towage capability around the Australian coastline in line with the assessed levels of risk. To ensure the availability of suitable vessels for its Emergency Towage Vessel (ETV) Program, AMSA has three categories of response capability and associated contracts with suppliers.
Level 2: Requires that arrangements are in place for suitably equipped ETVs to respond at short notice to directions from AMSA to perform first strike emergency towage capability in the event of shipping incidents or casualties. A harbour tug provider in specific regions is contracted to maintain the capability so as to be able to make suitable tugs available when required. One of these regions is the subject of this ATM – North Central Queensland.
The anticipated term for the resulting contract is from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2023 with two one (1) year extension options, exercisable at AMSA’s discretion.
