The Danish Fisheries Authority offers a contract for the construction of a new fishing control vessel (New West Coast). The ship is designed and there is a design basis with specification, general arrangement, machine arrangement & systems as well as structural drawings prepared for class approval.
The task offered thus includes retail design and the building of the ship itself.
The Danish Board of Fisheries is responsible for implementing the Government's fisheries policy. control of fishing in the Danish waters. Today, the fishing control ship "West Coast" is used to control the waters of the North Sea, the Skagerrak and the northern Kattegat. The Danish Fisheries Authority will therefore build a new Fisheries Control Ship that can replace the "West Coast".
The main task of the fisheries control vessel is national and international fisheries control. The ship must therefore be equipped with a boarding boat arrangement, as well as a suit and equipment room. In addition, the ship must carry out environmental tasks for the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, such as water sampling. The ship must be part of the rescue contingency, and the ship must therefore be equipped with towing gear for use in emergency towing tasks. During the summer, the ship will have to be included in expeditions of up to 20 days in potentially very severe weather conditions, which has been taken into account in the design.
The requirements for the ship's construction, functions and accommodation etc. are detailed in the tender documents. The accommodation of the ship must be carried out in modern Scandinavian design, which means a clean and functional design. All materials must be first class materials, easy to clean and suitable for maritime use. The accommodation and service areas must comply with the requirements of the MLC 2006 (Maritime Labor Convention 2006), the Danish Maritime Authority's Notices "A" regarding working environment (Notice A) and the Danish Maritime Authority's Notices "B" regarding ship's building and equipment (Notice B).
