II.1.4) Short description of the contract or purchase(s): To complement
its fuel cycle business, International Nuclear Services established a
world wide service for the transport of nuclear materials by road, rail
and sea and offers customers a fully integrated transport service. Pacific
Nuclear Transport Limited (PNTL) is the world’s most experienced shipper
of nuclear cargoes, its ships are dedicated to the transportation of
nuclear material that is classified by the International Maritime
Organisation (IMO) of the United Nations at its highest level of “Class
INF 3”. The “INF Code” regulates shipments by sea of used (spent) fuel,
plutonium and highly radioactive waste. PNTL has successfully completed
over 170 nuclear shipments over the last 30 years. With a 30-year record
of reliability and a special focus on safety, PNTL has earned a reputation
for utmost dependability and for operating ships that are among the safest
on the seas today. And with even more advanced ships being considered for
the future, PNTL continues to set new maritime standards for safety and
design. The entire operation is underpinned by Quality and Environmental
Management Systems, which have achieved independent third party
certification to ISO 9002 and ISO 14001. PNTL is jointly owned by
International Nuclear Services, Compagnie Generale des Matieres Nucleaires
and a consortium of Japanese Utilities. The PNTL fleet operates from the
Marine Terminal at the port of Barrow and is managed by James Fisher and
Sons plc, one of the United Kingdom’s leading providers of marine
services. The division of International Nuclear Services with
responsibility for managing the Consultancy/Public Relations contract is
MOX and Transport Services contracts, a part of International Nuclear
Services. As well as meeting the appropriate standards and regulations,
International Nuclear Services has responded positively to allay public
concerns. This ensures the continued safe and uninterrupted operation of
the vital link in the fuel cycle chain. Our vessels have taken part in
successful public information initiatives at port locations around the
world. Public relations activities are undertaken in order to ensure that
stakeholders and the general public are kept informed about PNTL
activities. The role is a combination of Consultancy and public relations
work and will require a flexible approach. We require a consultant with
well-established professional and media networks and established contacts
with key opinion formers who is independent and free from conflicts of
interest. It is essential to be familiar with relevant International
regulations (IAEA, IMO) for transportation of nuclear materials. The
consultant will also need to become quickly fully conversant with
International Nuclear Services capabilities and strategies, including
emergency response procedures, to a level where they are fully competent
to represent International Nuclear Services at media briefings and other
Global Acceptance activities. The specific activities required will be
defined by the Operations Director or delegate, we do however expect the
consultant to show initiative and to explore additional avenues for the
achievement of our objectives. The appointed consultant would be
accountable to the Operations Director or delegate but would be expected
to co-operate with other members of the department as required.
