Can you confirm if the ship will be under diplomatic clearance? A1. Yes Q2. In the SOW we noticed that we need to quote for garbage regarding 9cm. Will this be a daily amount? Or will this be for the length of the stay? A2. We need one container receptacle for trash size 9 cubic meter or 20 yard Container dumpster near the ship on the pier for ship trash. This receptacle to be emptied as needed basis per ship request. For price purposes please quote to be emptied 7 times; however only invoiced for the actual usage/emptied amount in other words if we only to be emptied 5 time then final invoice will be for 5 times. Q3. Air Freight Clearance and Transfer Support and liaison services adequate to assure customs clearance of Air Freight shipments within one day of arrival. Ground transport of Air Freight shipments to arrive at ship the same day after clearance Up to 8 separate deliveries of multiple Air Freight boxes/parcels/mail. Can you please explain further, what is included here? A3. At the moment we do not have anything pending or anything schedule for shipment; however in the past, we have sent 3-6 pallets via air cargo, the government paid for the air cargo at home station. Freights varies from 250lbs- 1,500lbs in wooden pallets. Usual pallets size 48x48x40 (inches). Total value contents per pallet is anywhere from $5k- $25k (per pallet). If we do sent items via air we would need the vendor to assist by having an agent helping clear the freight through customs at the air cargo terminal and by helping identify and expedite the transfer from the airport to a local warehouse until the ship is ready to receive the cargo. Once the vessel is in port then arranged the delivery to the ship. The type cargo may be composed of ship parts, crew mail and ship supplies all are to be commercial items. 3.
