We understand that the Port is

desirous of hiring ASD Tugs which will

deliver 50 Ton @ 90% MCR in

aberration from the standard

practice of conducting Bollard pull

The above requirement of the Port

effectively means Bidders have to

offer tugs of 60 Ton Bollard pull or

more capacity in “Ahead

direction”. With this change in the

Port’s requirement, we request that

the budgetary estimate of this Tender

Considering the fact that these high

capacity tugs are generally deployed in

long term contracts and availability in

spot market in India is rather scarce,

contractor has to bring in a substitute

tug either from overseas or from the

West coast of India where possibility of

availability of tug is slightly better.

The tight time frame for bringing in

substitute tug within 14 days is

highly onerous and only leads to a

possible default on the part of the

contractor and termination within

45 days.

It may kindly be noted that other

Major Ports require the Contractor to

provide a substitute tug after 30 days

of such unavailability and in case of

failure to do so; the contract is

terminated after 60 days.

Kindly accept and amend accordingly.

If the Crafts are not operational even after Fourteen days:-

The contractor has to provide a substitute crafts/sister/ similar crafts with similar/better specification (in sea worthy and efficient condition and should be in possession of all necessary valid certificates and IRS/IACS Class certification) shall be provided as a replacement by the contractor. The contractor should diligently take efforts to deploy the substitute crafts at the earliest but not exceeding 45 days from the day of non-operation.

However the fuel consumption of the replacement tugs shall be restricted to the fuel consumption of originally offered Crafts. Further, the sister/ similar/substitute Crafts which are deployed by the contractor shall be required to operate for a maximum period of 90 days only from the date & time Crafts are deployed and failure to deploy the originally offered tugs within 90 days, the contract is liable to be terminated at the discretion of KPL. If the offered crafts are rendered beyond repair as per undertaking submitted by the contractor the substitute crafts with similar or better specifications only may

continue for remaining currency period of contract.

If the Contractor fails to provide the substitute crafts after 45 days:-

If contractor expresses his inability to provide the offered crafts or substitute crafts by 45th day then the contract shall be terminated.

PAGE NO:27 CLAUSE NO: 1.33 RESCUE / SALVAGE OPERATION: Apart from carrying out the duties assigned to the tugs by the General Manager (MS) under the terms and conditions of the contract, the tugs may be required for rescue/salvage operations in case of an emergency. Since the rescue and salvage to vessels in distress is a mandatory requirement, the tugs may be required to go beyond the port limits of Kamarajar Port, for which all assistance, including extra manning; insurance etc will be provided by the Contractor. Since the marine casualty is controlled and managed by the DG Shipping, the tugs may be required to assist in any rescue or salvage operations as per their directions. In case of any remuneration or reward earned by the tugs owners on account of rescue/salvage operations, the same shall be shared with Kamarajar Port Limited equally after deduction of any extra cost incurred by the contractor. No Daily hire rate will paid for this period of the salvage operation i.e. from the time the tugs are cast off for the salvage operation to the time the tugs are made fast at finger jetty.

As your good self, Salvage is a

highly specialized job and these

harbour Tug boats are not suitable

for carrying out Salvage jobs. It also

requires crew having specific skill sets

which is rather scarce in the market

and prohibitively expensive. Further,

in general Tug insurance does not

cover Salvage jobs. We therefore,

request you to kindly exclude

Salvage from the scope of work. Tender condition prevails.

Kamarajar Port or to any places at sea for the purpose of search and rescue of passengers / crew of vessels in distress in the

vicinity The Crafts shall also be made available for assisting towage of disabled vessels, salvage operations at the discretion of the Controlling Officer viz., General Manager (MS) or the

authorized representative of Kamarajar Port Limited. The Crafts may also be used at neighboring ports without changing manning pattern of the tugs as prescribed by authority of Kamarajar

be around 14 years at the end of the

the age of substitute tug is

restricted only to 1-3 years which is

not a standard practice. We request

that clause is to be amended to say

the contractor is permitted to

substitute with a tug which is not

more than 14 years old.

(ii) The contractor would endeavor its

best to place a similar / better

specification tug as a substitute.

However, considering practical

difficulties an exact match would not

be possible and to ensure no

disruption in the operations of the

Port, we request that the Port should

accept a suitable substitute tug with

deficiencies of Age, FiFi and Bollard

Pull. The deficiencies in terms of Age,

FiFi and BP to be penalized as follows:

salvage to vessels in distress is a mandatory requirement, the

tugs may be required to go beyond the port limits of Kamarajar

Port, for which all assistance, including extra manning;

insurance etc will be provided by the Contractor. Since the

marine casualty is controlled and managed by the DG

Shipping, the tugs may be required to assist in any rescue or

salvage operations as per their directions.

In case of any remuneration or reward earned by the tugs owners on account of rescue/salvage operations, the same shall be shared with Kamarajar Port Limited equally after deduction of any extra cost incurred by the contractor.

For bidders those willing to Participate and bid to Supply

Considering requirement of Higher

bollard pull tug i.e. 50 Tons @ 90%

MCR in astern direction, we are of the

opinion that the estimated cost for this

tender is very low. Also, with reference

to recently concluded tender like

Paradip and in the prevailing market

conditions, charter hire for a 50 TBP

tug is much higher than the estimated

value.

We request you to please revise this

estimated cost with a more realistic

figure keeping recent tenders in mind.

We have noticed change in the

requirement of the Port requiring Tugs

of 50 Tons @ 90% in Astern Direction.

Needless to say this demands Tugs

having much higher capacity than 50

ton bollard pull category. The cost

estimate does not support the revised

attention that the requirement of

if we don’t have another tug in our

difficult to provide since these tugs are

rarely available for short term. We

We are of the opinion that flow meters

unnecessary disputes. Further,

have experienced shut downs which

can be fatal during operations. Tender condition prevails.
