Successful applicants must deliver a preliminary vessel design including hull forms, propulsion and power system selections, stability and load analyses, and a comprehensive economic analysis detailing the return on investment compared to conventional designs. Proposals are limited to 20 pages and must be submitted in PDF format via email to the designated contract specialists.
