    Brief

    The Authority seeks a qualified vessel vetting service provider to conduct safety and risk assessments of ocean tankers used for fuel delivery. Services required include: (1) annual Tanker Management and Self Assessment (TMSA) inspections for two long-term chartered vessels that serve as the primary fuel transport assets, and (2) ad-hoc vetting services for spot-market chartered vessels used under Delivery Duty Paid (DDP) fuel supply arrangements. The selected provider must have expertise in marine vessel risk evaluation and compliance verification. This is a 5-year contract opportunity running from February 2027 through February 2032, with potential for contract renewal based on performance.
