The platform must be capable of delivering non bulk logistic material whilst underway and making 12 knots through the water and transferring single loads of up to 5 tonnes. The FSS ships shall be fully compliant with statutory legislation (MCA) and shall be classed in accordance with Lloyds Naval Rules or equivalent. The FSS ships shall be capable of Replenishing at Sea (RAS) and conducting operations worldwide, seasonally unrestricted Tropical to Arctic (1st Year Ice).
