Lay Berthing Services for Long-Term Safe Lay Berth for Watson LMSR Vessels

The due date for proposals is hereby extended from April 20th to MAY 4th, 2026. 

NOTE: Due to industry concerns regarding the West Coast layberth solicitation, MARAD will reduce the wind requirement from 130 mph to 85 mph.

The Maritime Administration (MARAD) requires services for the exclusive long-term safe layberthing for up to two (2) WATSON CLASS LMSR RRF vessels, TRAVIS E WATKINS and MITCHELL RED CLOUD on the U.S. West Coast. Although the layberths are intended for the vessels identified in this solicitation, the Government may substitute vessels of a similar size or smaller. 

See Solicitation document for details.
