Closing date has passed.
The Agency provides additional response capacity to that of the pollution response mechanisms of EU Member States through contractual arrangements with private or public companies/consortia. Such companies/consortia can be drawn from any relevant industry including shipowners/operators and the spill response service providers.
The Agency intends to establish a large intermediate storage capacity to improve the efficiency of the response operations to recover oil at sea. Therefore, EMSA would like to contract the availability of a vessel arrangement (single vessel or “pool” of vessels) habitually engaged in Ship to Ship (STS) transfer operations. During a (major) incident, a request for assistance would activate the vessel arrangement at short notice to support the recovery operations by providing intermediate storage service.
