Technical requirements: In connection a MLU (Mid-life Update) of the Norwegian Armed Forces' [Forsvarets] ship diver equipment, it is necessary to procure spare parts and upgrade the equipment. It is critical for the Norwegian Armed Forces that the system configuration complies with the regulations for diving SUP 12D. Therefore, the Norwegian Armed Forces would like to inform tenderers of plans to enter into a contract with Lexow Safety for MLU of the ship diver equipment.
The Armed Forces manages around 300 Scuba air diving systems of the type Interspiro Divator. The air diving system Interspiro Divator is used in combination with Interspiro DP1 for surface-supplied diving.
Diving in which the diver is supplied with breathing gas from the surface (Surface-Supplied Diving) is especially important in regard to the execution of Diving Missions. The regulations for diving SUP 12D require that when diving without a free path to the surface, surface-supplied breathing gas must be used. Examples of this are diving in water jet generator-engines and shipwrecks, work in trawls and seines, etc.
The current ship diver equipment has been in use by the Norwegian Armed Forces for more than 25 years. Certain components of the ship diver equipment are showing signs of age. It is therefore preferable to upgrade the existing ship diver equipment for further use.
An upgrade of the ship diver equipment will involve some components being replaced by more "contemporary" components and other components in continued operation. The professional authority requires the diver equipment to have an approved configuration and, therefore, the diver equipment can only be delivered by Lexow Safety due to technical reasons.
