Kaieteur News understands that KMS established a base in Suriname where it can easily mobilise staff and resources to Guyana. The proposal leaked to this publication is clearly dated 28th July, 2026, days before government publicly opened a competitive bidding process. The company continues, “KMS is pleased to accept this invitation and offers a proven, safe and controlled solution. KMS recently completed multiple casualty-removal contracts for the Government of Guyana in the Demerara River as highlighted in its proposal. It is not immediately clear whether other companies were selectively invited by the GoG to submit proposals to salvage the wreck prior to the official RFP.
