ExxonMobil Guyana Limited (EMGL) has launched a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified providers of Platform Support Vessels (PSVs), Fast Support Vessels (FSVs), and Tugs for operations in Guyana. This initiative aims to establish enabling agreements for short-term vessel services.
The RFI emphasizes that no commercial information is required at this stage. Instead, it focuses on gathering data about potential providers capable of meeting specified criteria.
