| Description: | NERC/British Antarctic Survey has a business need to replace its two aging science/logistics support vessels with a new dual role purpose vessel. The FBC calculated that the NPV of the option selected as best overall Value For Money, (design, build operate a new dual role science/logistics support vessel) resulting in a saving of £102m over a period of 25 years representing the anticipated lifetime of the new asset. The reduction in vessel capacity and attendant running costs is predicted to deliver significant savings with only a minor impact of delivery of science days at sea. The Specification/Statement Of Requirements for the new vessel was developed in consultation with the key stakeholders including, but not limited to, the scientific user community; logistics support staff within the British Antarctic Survey and the Supply Side. Working with the selected shipyard, Cammell Laird we are optimising the design and on track to deliver the vessel in Autumn 2018. Following intensive commissioning and sea trials, the vessel will enter into service in Autumn 2019.NERC is not purchasing any steel. Steel purchased by the main contractor has due regard for the guidance and commercial best practice. |
