What the work is

Read the full scope

The SAEON (Sustainability Environments and Economies Node) requires supply and delivery of specialist oceanographic instrumentation for deployment on commercial fishing vessels. The procurement comprises: (1) Five temperature and depth instruments rated to 1000 m depth, designed to be attached to fishing gear (nets and doors) to profile the water column during fishing activities; (2) Five matching deck units to be secured to fishing vessels for downloading sensor data after each profile or fishing activity and relaying data to land-based stations. These instruments enable collection of oceanographic data in remote fishing areas where research cruises cannot easily access. This is a once-off supply (not ongoing services). The instruments must be rugged enough to withstand commercial fishing operations. Delivery location and specific vessel details are not provided in the document. No service duration or maintenance period is specified.
