Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority opens tenders for winter marine vessel services in Chornomorsk and Izmail, aiming for operational readiness.
The Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority (USPA) branches in Chornomorsk and Izmail aim to procure services for marine vessels to be used under winter conditions through tenders opened on November 12. The two announcements published on the institution's official website indicate that the procurements have been prepared in line with the operational needs of the ports.
According to e-tender records, the estimated value of the Chornomorsk tender is 5 million 540 thousand 198.40 hryvnias, excluding VAT. The tender includes a provision for a total of 32 hours of service from marine vessels with a power of at least 1,500 and 2,500 horsepower, respectively. The completion date for the services is indicated as December 31, 2027.
The estimated value of the second tender opened by the Izmail branch is 1 million hryvnias, excluding VAT. In this procurement as well, the service duration extends until the end of 2027. In both records, the process is currently at the stage of awaiting bids; no contractor has been selected yet.
Ukrainian Shipping Magazine reported that the previous tender opened by Chornomorsk on October 21 did not conclude due to a lack of bids. The new process aims to procure the same service again as part of winter preparations.
