Summary

Machine-generated summary

KBS Maritime is establishing a multi-supplier framework for complete third-party crane services supporting Alongside Services operations. The framework supplements, rather than replaces, KBS internal heavy lift capability and provides planned surge capacity, operational resilience, out-of-hours support, concurrent-lift capacity and specialist crane capability. It also covers the supply of crane operatives where required. Suppliers will deliver these services under a framework agreement intended to give flexible access to crane resources as operational needs arise.
