National Trust -NI- Marine Salvage of Vessels and Debris located in Strangford Lough

The National Trust is seeking experienced marine salvage and environmental contractors to remove and appropriately dispose of a number of abandoned vessels and marine debris sites located around Strangford Lough. The project aims to restore affected shoreline and seabed areas to their natural condition while protecting the Lough's internationally important habitats and wildlife. Contractors must demonstrate their ability to deliver the works in accordance with all statutory consents, minimise disturbance to sensitive foreshore and marine environments, and avoid adverse impacts on designated conservation areas, breeding bird populations and seals. Tenderers will be required to submit detailed methodologies that provide a safe, environmentally responsible and least-impact approach to the recovery, removal, transportation and disposal of all listed marine litter and wreck material
