Maritime Training Project
Tuvalu has received a loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) towards the cost of its Maritime Training Project.
The objective of the Project is to upgrade the structures and training facilities of the Tuvalu Maritime Training Institute (TMTI), to meet the current International Maritime Organization (IMO) training requirements and thereby remain on the IMO White List, ensuring that Tuvaluan seafarers will continue to be employed overseas. This objective will contribute significantly to the goal of poverty reduction in the outer islands of Tuvalu and improve the education and skills of Tuvaluan seafarers. The scope of the Project includes rehabilitating and extending training facilities at TMTI; upgrading the wharf facilities; improving and increasing staff accommodation; improving water, power, and communication services; procuring specialized training equipment; and extending shipping service offices.
Procurement
The main contract valued at approximately US$1.7 million, will be procured through international competitive bidding procedures. Materials and equipment valued below US$50,000 will be procured through direct purchase procedures.
Consulting Services
Approximately 7 person-months of international consulting services will be required for the project management unit and are estimated at US$157,000.
The Ministry of Education and Sports will be the Executing Agency for the Project.
