The Australian Government is committed to recycling the Northern Endeavour FPSO in a manner that is safe and environmentally sound while achieving value for money. Works are underway to prepare the FPSO for a safe disconnection from the subsea infrastructure.
We are seeking proposals from organisations to recycle the FPSO and manage the disposal of hazardous waste. This also includes the recycling of any furniture, fixtures, equipment, victuals or other on-board items. The FPSO will be towed to the ship recycling facility of the successful tenderer.
All FPSO recycling activities must comply with relevant regulatory requirements. This includes relevant safety, environmental protection and maritime regulations across:
- international conventions and agreements
- domestic legislation and regulations
- state legislation and regulations.
Interested parties must register to submit proposals through the AusTender website. We won’t accept proposals outside of AusTender.
You can access all the RFT documents on AusTender.
You must ensure you address all requirements in the RFT or we may exclude your proposal from evaluation.
Our department is holding industry briefing sessions for interested parties. There will be 3 separate briefings focussing on the commercial, financial and technical aspects of the RFT. To register for the briefings, email the contact officer at NERecycleProc@industry.gov.au and include:
- your company name
- the name of the attendees and which session they will be attending
- the email addresses of all attendees
- confirmation that attendees have read and understood the briefing protocols including in the RFT documents.
