The Oil and Gas Corporation of Newfoundland and Labrador (OilCo), acting on behalf of Bull Arm Fabrication Inc. (BAF), has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP Reference No. 926000006 via merx.com) seeking qualified proponents to conduct a Pre-Front End Engineering and Design (Pre-FEED) study for a floating dry dock at the 25-square-kilometre Bull Arm Fabrication Site in Trinity Bay. The initiative follows a June 2026 request for expressions of interest that drew 19 submissions from four countries, with over half originating from entities operating within Newfoundland and Labrador. The proposed floating dry dock aims to expand the site's industrial capacity for ship repair, marine construction, offshore support, decommissioning, and defence-related projects. Interested companies must submit their proposals by February 26, 2027.
