NLNG
INVITATION FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST FOR JETTY DEPTH RECOVERY SERVICES AT THE CORPORATE HEAD OFFICE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

NLNG is a leading energy company committed to driving innovation and meeting the evolving energy needs of the future through its world-class production Plant on Bonny Island, Rivers State, Nigeria. The Plant comprises six (6) natural gas liquefaction trains, with a combined annual capacity of twenty-two (22) million tons of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and five (5) million tons of Natural Gas Liquids (NGL). Operations at the Plant are sustained by a dedicated team of operators, technical specialists and service providers who ensure reliable and continuous production. These core activities are complemented by a range of supporting functions across NLNG’s operational locations, all working together to maintain optimal performance and efficiency.

NLNG continuously transports its employees, contractors, materials and equipment via the Port Harcourt-Bonny waterways. But due to predominantly strong tidal streams, frequent sand collection and land reclamation activities around the Amadi Creek area, the depth is continuously reducing, thus affecting vessel draft. Therefore, there is a need for biannual bathymetric survey and regular dredging to ensure the depth of water at the NLNG CHO Jetty waterfront and approach are continuously adequate for boat operation.

NLNG hereby invites interested companies with the requisite experience detailed below to express their interest in participating in the tendering for this service.
