Description: The Scottish Ministers, Marine Directorate invites tenders for the purchase and installation of a scientific, multi-frequency, wideband, echosounder system to replace the existing Simrad EK60 echosounder system on our Marine Research Vessel (MRV) Alba Na Mara.
Summary: The Scottish Ministers’ Marine Directorate sought a scientific, multi-frequency wideband echosounder system to replace the ageing Simrad EK60 aboard the marine research vessel Alba Na Mara. The supply includes installation and an echosounder system compatible with the vessel’s existing retractable sonar pod and newly fitted ES 38-7 transducer. The equipment measures water depth, productivity and seabed type, and supports population surveys of pelagic fish including herring, mackerel, sprat and blue whiting. The resulting data contributes to stock assessments in the North East Atlantic, the North Sea and Scotland’s sea lochs, helping inform fisheries quota advice. The work is for the Scottish Government’s Marine Directorate, with delivery and installation associated with the vessel’s operations around Scotland and offshore.

Description: The Scottish Ministers, Marine Directorate invites tenders for the purchase of a Temperature, Conductivity and Depth (CTD) instrument with associated oceanographic sensors.
Summary: The Scottish Government’s Marine Directorate sought a conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) instrument with associated oceanographic sensors. The equipment is intended to measure seawater characteristics accurately for environmental monitoring, helping quantify and understand changes in Scottish waters arising from natural variability and human activity, including climate change. It will be used primarily by the Directorate’s Oceanography team, with potential use by colleagues working in fisheries, marine renewables, aquaculture and nature conservation. The instrument is for use around Scotland and offshore. This is a goods procurement for oceanographic and hydrographic surveying equipment, including sensors, rather than a service or works contract.
