SCHEDULE A

Background and Response Requirements

PART 1: Background on requirements

A.1 In 2010, Marine Atlantic Inc. (MAI) established a goal of acquiring and operating a fleet

that consists of four modern, efficient vessels. MAI’s preferred fleet would have all

major systems across the vessels as similar as possible, while allowing for different

configurations of each ship to accommodate the required passenger and vehicle capacity.

The MV Blue Puttees and the MV Highlanders now form the basis of that fleet.

A.2 MAI is gauging industry interest and ability to supply up to, two (2) new or modified

vessels (built 2010 or later), that would fit MAI’s requirements. General MAI

requirements are set out below as follows:1

Modern, efficient vessels

Alignment of all major systems across the MAI fleet (for example, engines,

navigation systems, HVAC systems, etc.)

Roll-on/roll-off passenger (RoPax) vessels that are configured to meet the traffic

demand of MAI-MAI operates a daily passenger and freight service; the fleet must be

able to provide passenger and hotel-like amenities while still allowing for sufficient

deck space for the transportation of commercial goods, including dangerous goods

and wide loads. As such, each vessel would differ with respect to the level of

passenger amenities.

Vessels capable of dealing with MAI’s operating environment – ice class vessels that

are highly maneuverable.

Efficient vessels in terms of fuel, maintenance, and crewing; and,

Vessels fitted with systems that preferably can be supported by suppliers which have

service facilities in North America

A.3 Vessel delivery objectives are: the first vessel in the fall of 2019 and the second vessel in

the fall of 2020.

PART 2: Vessel specifications – Schedule B

A.4 The vessel specifications described in Schedule B is a representative example of the type

of vessels that MAI operates. They are being provided for high-level guidance only, and

are to be used to form the basis of the respondent’s answers to the questions in Schedule

C.

1 This is not a solicitation or invitation for Brokerage services. Brokers should not reply.

c. Market interest and financial capacity to fund the construction and/or modification of

arrangement) with option to purchase after minimum five (5) year period.

A.7 You are asked to answer all questions in the questionnaire. If a question does not apply to

your organization, please write “Not Applicable”.

A.8 You may use additional pages as required, but please mark all pages with your

organizations name, and the appropriate numbers of the sections and questions to which

the response relates.

document the name of your organization and the number of the question to which the

document relates.

A.10 The questionnaire should be returned as soon as possible, clearly marked, with any
