CMAL requires a design consultancy to assist with the in-depth evaluation, feasibility studies and in-depth concept design of a Ro-Pax vessel. This will include developing general arrangement drawings and associated plans/ specifications that would allow shipyards to tender for the detailed design and build of the new vessel type on a fixed price basis whilst eliminating design, construction and operating risks for CMAL or the vessels’ charterers.
