Norway – Repair, maintenance and associated services related to marine and other equipment – Elly - Shipyards and Thruster

NTNU and SINTEF shall, in connection with Fjordlab, develop a full-scale test laboratory for research, education, innovation and business. Elly is a fully electric research work vessel, which operates in Trondheimsfjorden. It is dedicated to developing innovation for the maritime environment, where testing of both technology, applications and operations will be work assignments. Elly will be an available sensor platform for students, industry and researchers. Elly will be a subsidy for environmentally friendly propulsion, in accordance with the ambitions of SINTEF and NTNU. Elly must be altered for a new thruster, which also means that GA and the event on board must form the basis. This is particularly complicated as Elly has electric motors which means a battery pack that must be responsible for the main source of power also for the Thruster. It is Skarsvåg boats that sit on theGA and the ship drawings to Elly and they will, therefore, not be possible for other tenderers to carry out this alteration. This is in accordance with the Public Procurement Regulations §13-4 letter 3: The tenderer has the sole right, including intellectual property rights. In this procurement, the shipyard must have close cooperation with the supplier of Thruster. A market survey shows that there is only one supplier who can deliver thrusts in accordance with the requirement specification. The supplier SeaDrive delivers the Thruster that Skarsvåg shall install.
