Replacement Marine Survey Vessel for NatureScot

NatureScot seeks to design, manufacture, commission, and deliver a replacement survey vessel to succeed the aging Aphrodite, a 24-year-old rigid hull inflatable boat. The new vessel must be versatile and capable of conducting marine environmental monitoring across diverse habitats and species throughout Scotland's inshore waters. The project includes the provision of a suitable trailer for transport and deployment. Potential suppliers should have experience in marine vessel design and construction, environmental monitoring capabilities, and familiarity with Scottish coastal conditions.
