Request for Proposal
Provision of Industrial and Vessel-Generated “Waste Reception Facility” at Port of Sohar
Sohar Industrial Port Company (SIPC) was established in 2002 pursuant to a Concession Agreement between SIPC and Government of Sultanate of Oman (GSO) to develop and manage the port of Sohar and the port’s industrial area measuring approximately 21 km2.
It is important that the development of the marine services offered keeps abreast of the rapidly increasing number of ships that call the Port. SIPC, the port authority and landlord of the Port, stimulates additional services to facilitate the already imminent developments. Taking the requirements of vessels into account, it is only natural that, next to the existing Marine Services, the introduction of a “Waste Reception Facility” is considered.
SIPC hereby invites interested and experienced parties on “Waste Reception Facilities” to submit business proposals for Sohar Port introducing sustainable procedures and design for collection, treatment and final disposal of ship and industrial generated waste according to the provisions of MARPOL 73/78 and Omani National legislation.
The proposal should contain –not limited to- the following elements:
§ Full detailed plan to establish Waste Reception Facility to collect the vessels generated wastes from the vessels inside the harbor basin and at the anchorage area as per the MARPOL 73/78 annexure:
Annex 1: Oil or oily residues
Annex 2: Noxious Liquid substances in bulk
Annex 3: Harmful substances in packaged form
Annex 4: Sewage
Annex 5: Garbage
§ Provision of treatment plant to discharge and treat the wastes according the Best International Practice.
§ Environmental and safety impacts of such facility along with relevant quality and prevention measurements.
§ Financial scheme for offering and delivering the services for the port users.
§ A competitive analysis taking other Waste Reception Services nearby into consideration.
§ Structure for a license fee for SIPC.
SIPC will use an open assessment procedure to select suitable candidates that will obtain a non-exclusive license under which the licensee will be permitted to offer these services.
All questions pertaining to this RfP must be submitted in writing to:
