While no company has publicly confirmed submitting a bid, several established marine salvage operators around the world have exactly the kind of regional and technical experience MARAD’s Expression of Interest is asking for. Resolve Marine Group, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, is one of the largest marine salvage operators globally, with roughly $220-260 million in annual revenue and 40 years of heavy-lift salvage and refloating experience. Ardent has secured an operating license specifically for the Caribbean region, one of the few salvage companies to do so, a credential that could matter given MARAD’s emphasis on companies experienced in Guyanese and wider Caribbean waters. Svitzer Salvage Americas, a 175-year-old company with its Americas headquarters in Miami, has responded to salvage needs across North America and the Caribbean since 2009. InterTug, based in Cartagena, Colombia, offers Caribbean-wide towing and salvage services, giving it direct regional and South American proximity to Guyana.
