Invitation to Tender - Limited Tender Ref: “SUPPLY OF STRADDLE CARRIERS” for the container terminal in Nordhavn, Copenhagen, Denmark

 

Copenhagen Malmö Port, branch of Copenhagen Malmö Port AB, Sverige (CMP, referred to as ‘Employer’) is operating the container terminal in the Port of Copenhagen, Denmark.  

The Employer is partly owned by CPH City and Port Development which has the responsibility to administer and run the harbour facilities and uphold the law and order in the harbour area according to the general harbour laws and regulations set forth by the Governmental Authority of Denmark. The Employer’s objective is to provide an effective and economic harbour and organize for an efficient and environmentally friendly sea-transport, as well as managing the property and equipment in an economic and environmentally friendly way. The Employer is certified within the environmental standard ISO 14001. 

The old container terminal is being relocated to a new terminal in the Nordhavn area, which will be operated initially with 2 container cranes and a number of Straddle Carriers. The Employer intends to purchase 2 new container cranes and new Straddle Carriers (complete with spare parts and consumables). Some existing straddle carriers (SC) are approaching the end of their life and therefore the Employer requires urgently replacement: minimum 1 SC should be delivered as soon as practically possible, followed by 2 additional SC (these SC will be used for landside operations only as they will be too high to operate with the existing container cranes). These 3 SC will be moved to the new terminal later on. Furthermore 4 to 6 additional SC will have to be delivered directly to the new terminal, however not earlier than the 4th quarter of 2024 when the new terminal is expected to be opened. The exact number of SC to be delivered and the exact timing of the delivery (which could be stretched with up to 3 months) will be determined by Employer later at a latest date to be agreed. 

The Employer intends to procure all straddle carriers under a single contract, however split in 2 Sections, each with it’s own payment terms.
