The government is seeking a consultant to undertake studies at Douglas Harbour ahead of potentially creating two new berths there.

The Department of Infrastructure is inviting expression of interest from a qualified and experienced maritime civil engineering consultant to carry out a sediment and navigation study in the area.

The DOI added interest parties must have a 'proven track record' in fast-time vessel simulation studies for crafts up to 362 metres long.

Those interested in applying should submit applications to the government portal by Noon on Tuesday, March 19.
