Lot Information
Lot 1
The Scottish Ministers, Marine Directorate has a requirement for the towage of the MPV Jura, currently berthed in Albert Dock, Hull, to the UK Docks Repair Yard on the River Tees for emergency repair of the vessel. The vessel's Controller Pitch Propellor (CPP) system is non-operational and will remain so for the duration of the tow.
Procurement Information
During the vessel's scheduled docking period, Marine Directorate became aware of a significant and unforeseeable defect in the replacement tail-shaft seal housing supplied by manufacturer. Although the component had been ordered and supplied in good faith, it was only once the original housing was removed and inspected on 29 October 2025 that it became clear the supplied unit was the wrong configuration. A replacement part was ordered from Japan but due to pressure of having to leave the dry dock, a temporary fix was arranged. The temporary fix was unsuccessful and is causing oil leakage. This requires the vessel to be dry docked again to avoid potential oil leakage, breaching environmental regulations, risk of damage to the tail-shaft bearings and stern-tube system and loss of class compliance if the issue is not addressed promptly. The vessel's Controller Pitch Propellor (CPP) system has also been deemed non-operational, therefore is it necessary to have the vessel towed to the repair yard from its dock in Hull to the yard in Middlesbrough in order to be fully repaired.
