Marine fuel 2026 (00723)

Marine fuel 2026 (00723). SUBJECT OF PROCUREMENT The subject of this framework agreement are fuels intended for the use of marine vessels and their on-board refueling (bunkering) for icebreakers and multi-purpose vessels in designated port cities. The Customer and the Supplier may agree during the contract period that the framework agreement may also supply or mediate small quantities of other products essentially related to fuel procurement, such as separate additives to be added to the fuel, which, among other things, enhance the combustion process, reduce emissions, prevent freezing, or reduce fouling. Fuel deliveries other than to ports and vessels are not included in the procurement. CONTRACT PERIOD The contract period is a maximum of two (2) years. Hansel Oy has the right to extend the validity of the framework agreement for a maximum of two (2) one-year option periods under the terms of the framework agreement. SCOPE OF THE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT The estimated total quantity of the procurement during the contract period, including option periods, is 14,000,000 – 60,000,000 kilograms of fuel. The estimated total value of the procurement during the contract period, including option periods, is EUR 6,500,000 – 78,000,000 (excluding VAT). These figures are non-binding estimates. The minimum value of the procurement is calculated as if the icebreaking conditions were easy throughout the framework agreement period and the world market price of fuels was favorable compared to the historical average. The maximum value, on the other hand, is calculated as if the icebreaking conditions were challenging throughout the framework agreement period and the world market price of fuels was expensive compared to the historical average, and additionally, legislation would cause a price increase. The weights of fuels per port city used in the price form in the competition are based on the estimate at the time of publication of the request for proposal of the quantity of fuels to be procured per port city in an average year during the upcoming framework agreement period. The icebreaking conditions in an average consumption year are normal. Actual consumption may deviate significantly from the presented estimate, primarily due to the dependence of fuel consumption on icebreaking conditions. The estimate in the price form has been assisted by the actual consumptions realized in the years 2018-2026 by customers who have used the framework agreements "Fuels in ports 2017-2019 (2021)", "Marine fuels 2021-2023 (2025)", and "Marine fuels 2022-2024 (2026)". The largest consumer of the framework agreement's products are the Finnish Transport Agency's icebreakers. The Finnish Transport Agency's share is approximately 95% of the estimated total quantity and value of the procurement. The amount of fuel consumed by icebreakers depends on icebreaking conditions, which mainly depend on temperature and winds. In an easy icebreaking year compared to the average, the fuel consumption of the framework agreement may be as low as approximately 3.5 million kilograms. In a very challenging icebreaking year compared to the average, fuel consumption can rise to as much as 15 million kilograms. In a normal icebreaking year and an average temperature year, approximately 10 million kilograms of fuel are consumed. Years 2020 and 2025 are considered easy icebreaking years. Years 2018, 2022, and 2024 are used as references for challenging icebreaking conditions. Years 2019, 2021, and 2023 are reference years for average conditions.
