- Description
- The National Science Foundation, an independent agency of the United States Government, is seeking information regarding the availability of capable ice-breaking vessels to support the re-supply of the U.S. Antarctic Program?s McMurdo Station. The National Science Foundation is the lead U.S. Government Agency responsible for directing and funding the U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP). The Foundation is interested in chartering an ice-breaking vessel or a combination of vessels that can break the channel, and escort an ice-strengthened tanker and an ice-strengthened cargo ship to the pier at McMurdo Station, located at 77?51? S, 166?40? E. We are specifically interested in vessels that are available for the Austral summer of 2005-2006. We are also seeking information on vessels that may be available for one or more periods from the Austral summer of 2006-2007 through the Austral summer of 2010-2011. NSF is not seeking binding offers to contract at this time; however, based upon the information received the Foundation may initiate discussions, seek offers, and award a contract or contracts with one or more owners or operators per the authority at 42 U.S.C. 1870(c).
