REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EOI): FOR WRECK REMOVAL AT KISMAYO PORT

UN WFP Somalia, has its Liaison Offices in Nairobi and is currently operational in Somaliland, Puntland, Central, Banadir and South regions of Somalia with its Country Office in Mogadishu and Area Offices established in Hargeisa, Bossaso, Galkayo, Mogadishu and Dollow.

The World Food Programme (WFP) Somalia Country Office has supported the development of logistics capacity building in Somalia through and rehabilitation projects in Mogadishu and Bossaso and is currently engaged in improvements to be made to the Kismayo port.  The Port of Kismayo, lies on the north east corner of Qooriga Kismayo (Kismayo Bay) in south Somalia about 60 miles north of the Kenyan border and located to the south of Mogadishu.

Kismayo Bay is accessible at all seasons and provides shelter to vessels of moderate draught. Vessels of shallow or medium draught may obtain sheltered anchorage in the south west part of the bay in depths of 6 to 7 M, sand and mud with good holding. This provides the best shelter during the strength of SW monsoon. Further anchorages are available in the Port of Kismayo. The Port of Kismayo is formed by an “L” shaped breakwater extending south-westwards from Seerbeenti Island and then arming out westwards to form a sheltered harbour. Vessels with drafts up to about 8 meters can be accommodated either alongside or at anchorage in the port depending on the state of the tide. Two RO/RO ramps are available for use on the

main jetty.

Reputable Contractors are encouraged to fill in the attached supplier registration form which can also be requested by e-mail from Somalia.Procurement@wfp.org or at the Liaison Office, on UN Crescent , Off UN Avenue, Gigiri Nairobi.
