Tender for the Design and Building of a Cargo Raft
The Government of Tristan da Cunha is pleased to open the tender for
The Design for the Building of a Cargo Raft.
Tristan da Cunha is a very isolated Island. The only way of getting to Tristan is by boat, at least seven-ten days’ trip from Cape Town South Africa. This is the only route for all cargo, including food supplies to reach the Island.
The ships cannot come alongside the Harbour so goods must be lifted by crane from the ship to a raft and then from a raft by crane to the Harbour.
The raft is integral to the Islands survival as it is the only way of bringing supplies from the cargo ships to the Harbour so it has to be robust and long lasting. The rafts also transport passengers from the ship to shore and for that and for the crew, the Raft must meet high standards of safety. The rafts are stored on the harbour wall so must be highly resistant to corrosion as salinity is high and sea conditions can be rough.
The Government welcomes any bids from marine engineers/naval architectural firms to provide a bid for the build.
