Dutch firm secretly invited among three bidders for MV Barima salvage

Guyana's MARAD opened bids on September 8, 2026, for salvaging the MV Barima, which capsized off Castle Flats, Essequibo Coast nearly two months ago. B.K. International Inc. submitted the lowest offer, but a Dutch firm was reportedly invited without public tender, raising transparency concerns. The salvage contract is critical for maritime safety and environmental protection in the area.
