Technical requirements: Request for information (RFI): Flexibility in the route timetable for low/zero emission operations on the boat routes between Bergen, Nordfjord and Sogn/Flåm
Skyss is preparing a tender contest for an operating contract for the boat routes between Bergen, Nordfjord and Sogn/Flåm. The market would like the flexibility to adjust the route timetable, and in this request for information from the market, Skyss is asking for feedback on a draft of the framework terms for such flexibility.
Written input from the market is preferred. Out of consideration for time, a meeting will not be held in connection with this request.
Skyss requests that all input is submitted by 26 October 2022 at 18:00. Input can be sent via email to Einar Aalen Hunsager (einar.aalen.hunsager@skyss.no) and Oda Totland Bongom (oda.totland.bongom@skyss.no).
Input from the market is important so that Skyss can formulate the best possible tender documentation for these routes. All information will be dealt with anonymously and will only be used in aggregate form. We value all input!
See the attachments for further information. An overlooked memo will be announced in the near future.

Skyss carried out a market dialogue in July/August 2022 about the relevant low or zero emissions concept through a tender contest in 2022/23. Almost all of the participants in the market dialogue asked that the tenderers be given the flexibility to change the current route timetable.
Skyss is not considering changing the ports of call for the routes, but is considering granting operators the flexibility to change arrival and departure times, speeds and layover times on routes within the current route structure. This can allow for speed equalisation, higher speeds and possibly time for energy transfer while en route.
Skyss would like to arrange a more flexible route timetable to provide the greatest possible technical scope for emissions reduction, but at the same time we must ensure that the route offering works for the customers. In a net contract, as for route package 1, the operator itself has a strong incentive to ensure a favourable route offering for its large customer groups in order to avoid losing the basis of its income. For the smaller customer groups, and perhaps more so in regards to shorter local journeys and correspondences en route, it is important that the contracting authority sets some limits for the operator's flexibility.
Skyss is seeking a dialogue with the market to clarify the consequences of such framework terms for flexibility. The main questions are:
