The ICG is the functional requirements owner ( i.e. the parameters of the SAR operations ), not the technical or safety requirements owner. Compliance with applicable certification, maintenance and safety standards is the only relevant metric for the tender.
The contract also failed to specify the installation of a cyclic control or windscreen, but I don't think we criticise the ICG over that oversight.
Sir, you display a significant lack of knowledge about how our industry works.
