01What is being requested
Execution of mooring services for ocean-going vessels for berthing and unberthing or anchoring in the port of Den Helder for a period of four years with two extensions.
N.V. Port of Den Helder has a public quay that is used 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Vessels must register in advance to be allowed to use the quay. In doing so, vessels can make use of mooring services for the berthing or unberthing of vessels. The current contract ends on 31 December 2025. For this reason, Port of Den Helder has launched a new procurement procedure. Port of Den Helder wishes to enter into a new agreement as of 1 January 2026.
02Outcome
Peterson Den Helder B.V.
03Strategic insight
When pricing, focus on the lowest price as this is the sole award criterion. Take into account the works for both the berthing and unberthing of vessels. Ensure an organization that complies with the safety requirements when casting lines.
