Tender Description
Phase 1 of the Northern Endeavour Decommissioning project includes the preparation for decommissioning of the Laminaria-Corallina facilities, comprising flushing and hydrocarbon freeing of the floating production storage and offtake facility, well(s) suspension and isolation, disconnection of the FPSO, and optional tow.
In support of the NEDCOM Phase I scope, there is a requirement to mobilise personnel, and at times equipment, by Rotary Wing (Helicopter) Transportation.
All infrastructure, maintenance equipment, personnel and physical airframes will need to be mobilised and situated at a remote airfield in the northern reaches of Australia. The flight distance between the airfield and helideck(s) is between 280 – 305 nautical miles (one way), with limited access to a secondary HLS. Airframes are expected to carry enough fuel to transit one day, with necessary final reserves maintained onboard, as dictated by CASA and BoM for varied contingent weather criteria.
Fuelling may be provided at offshore facilities, by a qualified team. Helidecks are audited and compliant to CAP437 standards, and rated to 12.5t respectively.
PAX to be transferred between airfield and facilities range between 10-23 however this number is not extant and may fluctuate with additional planned operations outside the scope of routine crew changes, such as dignitary visits, contractor upman or downman, cyclone events and support of other watercraft in the field, completing operations with a suitable and certified heli-deck. Flights will occur 1-2 days a week for crew changes. Where feasible, the helicopter operator will also provide JetA1 required to sustain operations.

• Various other MEDEVAC equipment as identified by Medic and PFML HSEQ staff required to support helicopter CASEVAC situations from offshore facilities.
The contractor must also be able to provide tested and quality JetA1 Heli-fuel to PFML within the Darwin Locale (due to the nature of PFML Marine Supply Strategy).
