UKRI, through its component Research Council, the NERC, currently operates a fleet of 4 vessels undertaking a range of oceanographic science and logistics operations worldwide including the re-supply of the UK's Antarctic stations.

It has a requirement to obtain marine brokerage services to handle a range of activities related to its fleet to include:

- disposal, by sale, of vessels surplus to requirements;
- chartering in of vessels;
- chartering out of its vessels and
