Description du marché
The partners wish to facilitate the implementation of an inter-regional short sea shipping service for the development of economic exchanges between the territories, with the following characteristics:
— An offer of maritime transport complementary to the existing offer,
— A multipurpose service: pallets, bulk, conventional, big bags,
— An offer accessible to all importers and exporters without distinction of size ("from 1 pallet"),
— Attractive prices below market prices,
— A 20-day loop carried out by a rigged vessel able to call at all ports of the loop (that is to say with a maximum draft of 6.5m).
Among the various scenarios studied in 2017, the following loop was chosen because it had a priori the most important market potential:
— Port of Belém, Pará, Brazil,
— Port of Santana, Amapá, Brazil,
— Port of Dégrad des Cannes, French Guiana, France,
— Port of Paramaribo, Suriname,
— Port of Georgetown, Guyana,
— Port of Pointe à Pitre, Guadeloupe, France,
— Port of Fort de France, Martinique, France.
This scenario is only a suggestion of the partners. Interested candidates remain free to propose a different loop, provided they give economic justification and offer a service with the following characteristics:
— Multipurpose service with a rigged vessel,
— Accessible to all types of actors and small lots of goods (from 1 pallet),
— Interregional loop linking at least North Brazil to the Guiana Shield,
— Commercial attractiveness of the service with prices below current prices on the market.
This International Call for Expressions of Interest (ICEI) does not constitute a public call for competition within the meaning of government procurement. The main objective of this ICEI is to initiate the discussion between the partners of the project and economic operators, professionals of the sector, for the implementation of an international shortsea shipping service between the Guiana Shield and the Caribbean.
