SCHEDULE A
Background and Response Requirements
PART 1: Background on requirements
A.1 In 2010, Marine Atlantic Inc. (MAI) established a goal of acquiring and operating a fleet
that consists of four modern, efficient vessels. MAI’s preferred fleet would have all
major systems across the vessels as similar as possible, while allowing for different
configurations of each ship to accommodate the required passenger and vehicle capacity.
The MV Blue Puttees and the MV Highlanders now form the basis of that fleet.
A.2 MAI is gauging industry interest and ability to supply up to, two (2) new or modified
vessels (built 2010 or later), that would fit MAI’s requirements. General MAI
requirements are set out below as follows:1
Modern, efficient vessels
Alignment of all major systems across the MAI fleet (for example, engines,
navigation systems, HVAC systems, etc.)
Roll-on/roll-off passenger (RoPax) vessels that are configured to meet the traffic
demand of MAI-MAI operates a daily passenger and freight service; the fleet must be
able to provide passenger and hotel-like amenities while still allowing for sufficient
deck space for the transportation of commercial goods, including dangerous goods
and wide loads. As such, each vessel would differ with respect to the level of
passenger amenities.
Vessels capable of dealing with MAI’s operating environment – ice class vessels that
are highly maneuverable.
Efficient vessels in terms of fuel, maintenance, and crewing; and,
Vessels fitted with systems that preferably can be supported by suppliers which have
service facilities in North America
A.3 Vessel delivery objectives are: the first vessel in the fall of 2019 and the second vessel in
the fall of 2020.
PART 2: Vessel specifications – Schedule B
A.4 The vessel specifications described in Schedule B is a representative example of the type
of vessels that MAI operates. They are being provided for high-level guidance only, and
are to be used to form the basis of the respondent’s answers to the questions in Schedule
C.
1 This is not a solicitation or invitation for Brokerage services. Brokers should not reply.
