Ship Management Services ISDT (1)

International Nuclear Services (INS) has a requirement for the provision of Ship Management services for the management of the PNTL fleet of three INF3 certified vessels.

INS reserves the right to increase the fleet in line with business requirements during the term of the contract.

It is INS's intention to procure the Ship Management Service from one supplier.

The appointed Ship Manager is to provide a full ship management service including technical and crew management services. The Ship manager will be expected to ensure that the Fleet is fit for voyages 100% of the time. They will be expected to take full responsibility of the Fleets maintenance programs including the specific Physical Protection equipment that exist aboard the Fleet.

The Ship Manager will maintain compliance with the Nuclear Industry Security Regulations 2003 (NISR 2003), including all amendments which means:

• Hold ‘List N’ status to enable the processing, storage and exchange of sensitive nuclear information (SNI) protectively marked up to UK SECRET, in line with Regulation 22 of NISR 2003. Further information can be sought from www.onr.gov.uk/cnss/regulation-of-s… ↗ which includes the regulatory expectations of achieving this required standard.
• Maintain PNTL’s Class A carrier status in line with Part 3 (Regulations 13 to 21) of NISR 2003 by delivering compliance with all

relevant supporting regulatory expectations including, most notably, the UK’s Security Assessment Principles (SyAPs) for PNTL. Further information can be sought from www.onr.gov.uk/syaps/index.htm ↗, which includes free and open access to the SyAPS regulations.
