Decided it needed a thread of it's own, given how the Army one has become a zombie thread.
Section 3. Specification of Requirements
Boarding Ladder.
3.1 The ladder is to be constructed from light weight, high strength material such as carbon fibre and it is to be of a pole type construction made up of three sections.
3.2 The top section is to be approximately 2.4m in length and come complete with a grapel.
3.3 The middle section is to be approximately 2.4m in length.
3.4 The bottom section is to be approximately 1.2m in length.
3.5 Overall length of the solid ladder with the three sections joint together must be 7m.
3.6 The ladder should come with a stainless steel rope ladder which comes complete with a fitting attachment. This rope ladder should be capable of being attached to the bottom section and should be approximately 3m in length.
3.7 The three sections and the rope ladder should be capable of being fitted together quickly and easily and should remain securely together once assembled.
3.8 The unit should be supplied with a wooden/heavy duty plastic storage case.
3.9 The Irish Naval Service intends to purchase two (2) boarding ladders in 2012. Additional ladders may be purchased under this tendering process in 2013 and 2014, however the Irish Naval Service are not obliged to do so.
3.10 The two boarding ladders must be delivered no later than 29th October 2012.
3.11 The boarding ladder will be utilised to gain access from an inflatable RHIB onto a vessel which has a higher freeboard. The use of a grapel is required so that the ladder may be secured to the other vessel and allows safe access. The steel rope ladder is to be secured to the bottom of the pole. This prevents the inflatable RHIB becoming damaged by the pole ladder and also prevents the RHIB from hitting the pole and dislodging the grapel.
