Woolwich Ferry - Fuel by barge & road tanker

TfL require the provision and delivery of fuel to operate the TfL Woolwich Ferry service by both barge and/or small road tanker.

The service uses approximately 780,000 litres of fuel annually across both vessels.

Woolwich Ferry operates two ferries linking Woolwich and North Woolwich across the Thames. The ferry is a free service and the vessels used carry pedestrians, cyclists, cars, vans and lorries.

TfL are considering a number of fuel types. Alongside the Ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD), TfL are also considering alternate fuel types subject to specification/standards development and vessel suitability.

This preliminary market engagement notice is issued to understand market interest, capacity and capability. TfL seeks feedback on fuel types, specifications, delivery capability and standards.
