Regarding the revision of certain provisions of the tender documentation for procurement No. UA-2026-02-12-011193-a (RLNC-USPA-E-2: Procurement of Maritime Vessels: Lot 1: Maritime Tug with Azimuth Thrusters and Lot 2: Pilot and Service Boat)

A potential bidder believes that certain technical and qualification requirements of the tender documentation, taken together, may lead to an unjustified restriction of competition and the actual limitation of participation by Ukrainian shipbuilding enterprises.
First of all, this concerns the requirement that the vessels must be designed and built in accordance with the rules of a classification society that is a member of IACS. Such an approach does not take into account the structure of the Ukrainian shipbuilding market, where a significant number of vessels built by domestic shipyards were constructed under the supervision of the Shipping Register of Ukraine. Although the Shipping Register of Ukraine is not a member of IACS, the relevant experience in ship construction, technical supervision, and commissioning of vessels is still relevant for confirming the bidder’s technical capability.
In addition, during martial law Ukrainian shipbuilding enterprises have been operating under extremely difficult conditions: disrupted production chains, complicated logistics, a reduced volume of new contracts, and postponement or cancellation of a number of orders. In this context, the requirement to confirm experience exclusively through projects associated with IACS classification societies creates an advantage for a narrow circle of participants and does not allow for a full assessment of the actual production, engineering, and design capabilities of Ukrainian shipyards.
Particular attention should also be paid to the financial criterion requiring confirmation of a minimum average annual turnover for 2023–2025 for Lot 1 in the amount of at least USD 12 million. For Ukrainian enterprises operating under the conditions of full-scale war, such an indicator may be objectively unattainable not because of the lack of production or technical capacity, but because of wartime circumstances that have directly affected the number of contracts, the timing of their execution, receipt of payments, export opportunities, and the overall volume of sales. As a result, this requirement may fail to reflect the actual ability of an enterprise to perform the future contract and may effectively exclude participants that have the necessary production facilities, personnel, engineering experience, and material and technical base.
In addition, the requirement to submit the tender proposal and all supporting documents in English significantly complicates the participation of Ukrainian enterprises. A substantial part of the technical documentation available to domestic shipbuilding companies, including specifications, general arrangement plans, drawings, class documents, and other materials related to previously built vessels, is prepared in Ukrainian. Translating these documents into English requires additional time, significant costs, and the involvement of specialized translators with technical and maritime qualifications. In the absence of sufficient time for such translation, or the possibility to submit part of the documents in the original language with translation of the key sections only, this requirement creates an additional barrier that is not directly related to the bidder’s ability to perform the subject matter of the procurement.
It is also excessively burdensome to require proof of similar experience only through narrowly defined types of vessels. It would be advisable to allow confirmation of experience through the construction of other self-propelled vessels of comparable complexity or greater complexity, including vessels built for the enterprise’s own needs, provided that such vessels correspond to comparable technical characteristics and level of complexity.
In view of the above, we kindly request that certain provisions of the tender documentation be revised and that a more flexible, objective, and competitive mechanism for confirming the technical and financial capacity of bidders be introduced, taking into account the actual condition of the Ukrainian shipbuilding industry during martial law, namely:
To provide for the possibility of constructing the vessels under the supervision of the Shipping Register of Ukraine or another classification society with which the bidder’s prior experience confirms its technical capability.
To allow confirmation of similar experience through the construction not only of maritime tugs and pilot boats, but also of other similar or more complex self-propelled vessels.
To revise the requirement regarding the minimum average annual turnover for 2023–2025 for Lot 1 by reducing it to USD 4 million, or to provide alternative ways of confirming the bidder’s financial capacity.
To allow the submission of documents in Ukrainian, or to provide for the possibility of submitting documents in the original language with translation of the key parts into English.
To provide for the possibility of confirming experience through vessels built for the enterprise’s own needs, provided that they are comparable in technical complexity.

Dear Madam/Sir,
Hereby the questions regarding the tender specification:
1. Delivery time: the delivery time of the required tug which is compliant with ICE CLASS 1B in 26 months. Would the delivery time of 26 months still comply for the tender or can the delivery time be adjusted in the tender?
2. B arrangement : "The vessel must be equipped with towing winch, A-frame and towing hook on the aft side and with towing winch and A-frame on the bow side." Could you clarify whether the term ‘A‑frame’ refers to the guide post that directs and aligns the towline from the winch?”
3. C complement and autonomy: "The ship can accommodate a maximum of 10 people Crew spaces consist in living spaces, galley mess/day room, wheelhouse and toilets." - The current MLC compliant tug design suits 8 people(1 captain's and 1x chief engineers and 3x double crew cabins). Please confirm if 8-person crew is also allowed. It is possible to add a foldable bed in the captains and chief engineers' cabin; however, that is not in MLC 2006 compliant.
4. D main particulars: "Maximum draught: max 4.60m" - would a maximum draught of 4.90m also be allowed?
5. E capacities: "Fuel oil tanks: min 80.0 m3" - would 72 m3 also be sufficient?
6. E capacities: "Fresh water tanks: min 18.0 m3" - would 14.5 m3 also be sufficient? The capacity can be increased by adding a freshwater maker.
7. E capacities: "Sewage tanks: min 20.0 m3 " - would 2.2 m3 also be sufficient? The capacity can be increased by adding a sewage treatment plant.
8. H Class, Regulations, Certificates: "6. Legislation of the Global System of Rescue at Sea." - Do you refer to the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System as the Black Sea would require compliance with GMDSS Area 2 or Area 3?
9. I drawings, instruction books and manuals: "The drawings, instruction books, manuals, spare parts catalogues for all machineries & equipment must be delivered to the Purchaser in English and Ukrainian language" - Would translations to Ukrainian for all main machinery and equipment also be sufficient?
10. M Trim and stability: "The survivability of the ship will be ensured in case of damage." - Damage stability is not required for vessels below 500GT. As this vessel is below 500GT, what is the expectations of this requirement?
11. 10 Specification Drawing: "• Air temperature: + 45 C to -25 C (not applicable for HVAC)" - The current air temperature capacity is between 35 and -30 degrees. Looking at the operational area of the Black Sea, this would be sufficient. Could you please confirm:
"• Water temperature: +32 C to -1 C " - The current water temperature capacity is between 25 and -2. Looking at the operational area of the Black Sea, this would be sufficient. Could you please confirm?
12. 154 trials trips: "Trial is to be done on the Black Sea or similar conditions." - The initial trials will be performed near the yard. Retrials can be performed at the Black Sea. Please, confirm.
13. 216 Engine floor, casing and tanks below main deck: "Floor plates are to be fixed with galvanized steel screws." - Would stainless steel screws also be complaint?
14. 252 Bottom plugs, sea chests and bilge wells: "Two (2) sea chests to be arranged: at least one of which to be ice chest type "- In our experience, sea chest/box cooling often experiences problems with cooling due to ice or fouling. That is why we chose keel cooling for cooling of the main engines, generator set engines and hydraulic system. Only the fire fighting engine is fitted with an open seawater cooling system and a plate type heat exchanger incorporated in the engine lay-out. Please confirm if keel cooling is acceptable.
15. 35 towing equipment aft part: "Towing hook ... shall be installed in the aft part of the vessel in center line. " - In the design, the towing hook is not placed on centerline on the deckhouse on port side. However, the line will be guided through the guidepost which is on the centerline. This will have a similar effect as having the towing hook on the centerline but will increase the aft deck area and increase the length between the towing point and the thrusters. Please, confirm.
16. 35 towing equipment aft part: "A hydraulic towing winch ... slack rope speed up to 40 m/min and min." - Is 27.6 m/min also sufficient?
17. 35 towing equipment fore part: "A fore hydraulic towing winch ... slack rope speed up to 40 m/min" - Is 31.0 m/min also sufficient?
General question:
18. Question referring the extension: taking into the account the technical complicity of the tug and that we will need to work out on the coming answers to our questions, we kindly ask you to extend deadline for submission of tender proposals for three more weeks.

Dear Client,
We kindly request that you consider making amendments to the qualification requirements of the tender documentation regarding the confirmation of experience in performing similar contracts.
According to the current version of the documentation, the Supplier must demonstrate the successful completion of contracts within the last six (6) years prior to the proposal submission deadline, specifically:
for Lot 1 – at least two (2) sea-going tugboats with azimuth thrusters or other similar or more complex self-propelled vessels;
for Lot 2 – at least two (2) pilot and service boats or other similar or more complex self-propelled vessels.
In order to expand competition and ensure the participation of a broader range of potential bidders, as well as taking into account the objective circumstances related to the ongoing war in Ukraine, which has significantly affected the shipbuilding industry, we kindly ask you to consider the following amendments:
Extend the period for confirming relevant experience from the last 6 years to 8 years prior to the submission deadline for tender proposals.
Allow confirmation of experience with at least one vessel of the relevant type, or with a vessel similar in terms of construction complexity and technology, which would still adequately demonstrate the technical capability of the bidder.
Allow confirmation of design and construction experience under the supervision of a recognized classification society, in particular the Shipping Register of Ukraine, since some participants have ready vessel designs already approved by this classification society, confirming their compliance with technical and safety requirements.
We believe that the proposed amendments will not affect the quality or safety of the future contract implementation, while at the same time they will help increase competition and allow more qualified participants to take part in the procurement procedure.
Thank you in advance for considering our request, and we look forward to your positive response.

Шановний замовнику, у складі тендерної документації оприлюднені матеріали викладені виключно англійською мовою.
З огляду на те, що державною мовою в Україні є українська, а також з метою забезпечення відкритості, доступності та недискримінації потенційних учасників, прошу розмістити офіційний український варіант тендерної документації або автентичний переклад українською мовою.
Окремо звертаю увагу, що правила проведення закупівель, встановлені міжнародними фінансовими інституціями (зокрема міжнародним банком, який фінансує проєкт), не містять заборони на оприлюднення тендерної документації одночасно англійською та українською мовами. Розміщення двомовної документації жодним чином не суперечить міжнародним вимогам та сприятиме розширенню кола потенційних учасників.
Дякуємо за розуміння.
