Description
The U.S. Navy’s Military Sealift Command is seeking offers for a 90‑day time‑charter of a commercial product tanker (U.S. or foreign flagged) to operate in the Western Pacific. The charter will be firm‑fixed‑price with daily hire rates, fuel reimbursement, and optional extensions. Vessels must meet stringent technical specifications—including double‑hull, inert‑gas system, segregated ballast tanks, speed ≥13 kn, LOA ≤200 m, DWT ≤50,000 MT, and age limits—plus extensive safety, environmental, security, and crew‑nationality requirements. Offerors must provide detailed vessel data, stowage plans, certifications, and agree to frequent position/status reporting and monthly fuel‑consumption abstracts.
