Electrification RPA 8 - RPA zero (existing patrol vessel)
Havenbedrijf Rotterdam NV intends to fully electrify the existing patrol vessel RPA 8. The assignment includes replacing the current powertrain with an electric motor, including necessary adjustments to the periphery (e.g., protection against stray currents and corrosion). Additionally, the maneuvering characteristics may be improved based on follow-up research by Marin, including possible changes to the skeg, bow thruster function, and steering. The construction of a charging station or other charging infrastructure is outside the scope. The procurement is a competitive procedure with negotiation, focused on services. The contracting authority expects an integrated solution that meets maritime safety standards, energy efficiency, and maintenance requirements, without the need to realize additional infrastructure on-site.

Havenbedrijf Rotterdam intends to have one of its existing patrol vessels (the RPA 8) converted to a fully electric propulsion system.nScope:n- The replacement of the powertrain with a fully electric one, including the necessary adjustments to the periphery (for example, countering stray currents and resulting corrosion).n- Possible adjustment/improvement of the maneuvering characteristics based on the Marin study. This includes, for example, the skeg, bow thruster function, and steering. The exact implementation of this depends on the results of the follow-up research currently being conducte
02Exclusion grounds
