This tender is at the award stage, with a contract valued at £12,200,000. The supply is required to enhance towage services in the Scapa Flow and Kirkwall harbour areas, with an expectation for delivery post successful sea trials. The specifications include the provision of one tug boat or the design and construction of two new vessels, aimed to replace aging assets from 1989 and 1992.
