This ATM seeks to identify a suitably qualified contractor who can deliver the provision of Aids to Navigation (AtoN) Maintenance Services in North Queensland (Region 7).

AMSA is responsible for providing an effective system of marine AtoN to the commercial shipping industry that meets the standards set by the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities (IALA).

The AtoN Network administered by AMSA consists of about 480 aids to navigation located at about 360 sites around Australia’s coastline which assist mariners to make safe and efficient passages. The AtoN (and associated equipment) comprise a variety of structures and systems across the AtoN network that are required to be maintained throughout their useful life.

AMSA will maintain the AtoN Network through nine (9) separate contracts (all to be tendered through AusTender), including regional essential maintenance contracts and a centralised technical support and logistics contract.

The scope of this AtoN Maintenance Services contract requires the Contractor to undertake planned essential preventative maintenance activities and to provide AtoN fault and failure response services.
