In Den Helder the Royal Netherlands Navy (RNLN) operates one (1) harbour/seagoing tug and two (2) smaller tugboats in and out of its naval base. There is a need for replacement of these tugs because of the upcoming End Life of Type (ELOT). The RNLN is planning to replace these ships with three (3) Medium Sized Harbour, seagoing capable, Tugs (MSHT).
The Materiel and IT Command (COMMIT), on behalf of the RNLN, is preparing a tender for the replacement of the harbour/seagoing tug and smaller tugboats. Before publishing this tender, the COMMIT has decided to consult the market first. The purpose of this consultation is two-fold. On one hand to inform the market of the upcoming acquisition of the replacement of the harbour/seagoing tug and smaller tugboats. On the other hand to determine the extent of the supplier's market and to explore the market's potential to meet the replacement need of the RNLN.
