London 2012 Invitation to tender: Boats and Marine Services
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) has begun the process of sourcing over 180 support (non-competition) boats for the Sailing, Rowing, Canoeing, Triathlon and Open Water Swim events to be staged in the summer of 2012.
Over the course of March 2010, LOCOG is seeking to engage three different marine market sectors. The three separate opportunities will cover the commercial charter of Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIBs) and motor yachts, the purchase of RIBs and other boats direct from manufacturers and the sourcing of outboard motors direct from marine engine manufacturers.
The first opportunity, posted today at http://www.london2012.com/business">http://www.london2012.com/business">http://www.london2012.com/business, focuses on the commercial charter of RIBs and motor yachts. For operational certainty, LOCOG is seeking commercial charter companies to be able to demonstrate full ownership and availability of at least five charter boats and, in some instances, provide a fully qualified skipper and crew.
Over 150 of the support boats will be required for the Sailing events to be held in Weymouth and Portland, Dorset. The boats to support all sports will be required for Test Events in 2011 and during the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012. This equates to an average of 53 days.
Interested parties are being urged to seek further information and details of how to apply online at http://www.london2012.com/business.">http://www.london2012.com/business.">http://www.london2012.com/business. The first stage of the process for all three opportunities is to register on the CompeteFor website, which is the online service for matching potential suppliers with Games-related business opportunities as the opportunities go live.

Brazil - Shipyard Looking for Partnership
A local shipyard active in shipbuilding and vessel repair for the Oil & Gas sector in Brazil is looking for a partner for the construction of offshore support vessels for oil platforms in the area of the Campos Basin and Macaé city, in Rio de Janeiro State.
The company was established in 1983 and has an area of approximately 20,000 m², outfitting quay of 200 meters, quay of 70 meters with 3 to 5 meters depth and slipway of 45 meters can be expanded for the construction of larger vessels.
According to the company, their main clients are: Astro Marítima, Norskan, Petrobras, Superpesa and other offshore marine companies.
The company is located in Rio de Janeiro, where most of the Oil & Gas activities are concentrated due to the proximity to the Campos Basin. With the discovery of oil reserves in the pre-salt region by Petrobras, there was a substantial increase of interest in partnerships in the offshore support sector in Rio de Janeiro.
