Brief
Gas Networks Ireland needs services for the provision, long-term charter, operation, and maintenance of a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) to support Ireland’s Strategic Gas Emergency Reserve. The FSRU must be capable of delivering up to approximately 416 MMSCF/day of natural gas, with readiness to move from standby to full send out within 24 hours, and meeting Irish gas transmission system gas quality specifications and odorisation requirements, including delivery at pipeline entry pressures up to circa 85 barg and receipt of LNG via side-by-side ship-to-ship transfer. The FSRU will predominantly operate on standby, with periodic operation for assurance and maintenance. The successful contractor(s) may also be required to provide and/or coordinate ancillary services such as catering, crew logistics, waste handling, fender management, and utilities support. This is a qualification system with two lots: Lot 1 for long-term strategic gas emergency reserve services and Lot 2 for short-term services using an FSRU as a bridging vessel. Price and quality are award criteria, with further details in the procurement documents.

From the notice
This notice establishes a qualification system for economic operators capable of providing, by the long-term supply (by ownership or charter or an equivalent arrangement), the operation, management and maintenance of a Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) and associated services to support Ireland’s Strategic Gas Emergency Reserve. The Qualification System comprises two lots: Lot 1 for long‑term strategic gas emergency reserve services using an FSRU (to be the subject of an Initial Competition), and Lot 2 for short‑term strategic gas emergency reserve services using an FSRU as a bridging vessel (which GNI may run only if required). Qualified operators must be able to supply an FSRU capable of delivering up to approximately 416 MMSCF/day of natural gas, with readiness to move from standby to full send out within 24 hours, and meeting the Irish gas transmission system gas quality specification and odorisation requirements, including delivery at pipeline entry pressures up to circa 85 barg and receipt of LNG via side by side ship to ship transfer. Outside emergency deployment, the FSRU will predominantly operate on standby with minimal routine regasification; periodic operation may be required for assurance and maintenance purposes. Associated onshore and marine infrastructure (including any jetty, onshore terminal and pipeline works) are not included within the scope of this qualification system and will be the subject of a separate procurement; however, the successful contractor(s) may be required to provide and/or coordinate necessary ancillary services to support safe and reliable operations, including catering services, crew logistics, waste and residue handling and offtake, fender storage and management, and utilities support as appropriate to FSRU operations. Contracts may be awarded to qualified operators without further publication. Further details, including technical, legal and financial requirements for qualification, are set out in the qualification system documents and will be further specified at call‑off stage.
