Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) is procuring an agricultural tractor for use at the Killybegs Fishery Harbour Centre in Co. Donegal. Its main function is to tow vessels to and from dry dock bays in the Department's shipyard. Vessels up to 600 tonnes are taken out of the water on cradle trains using a vertical syncrolift facility; the tractor attaches to the cradle train at ground level and tows vessels into the dry dock bay or the boat repair building. The contract price must include a comprehensive warranty and service/maintenance package for the first 6000 hours or five years from delivery, whichever comes first.
