Mariners and offshore operators are hereby notified of the planned activities within Guyana’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
Geophysical and seismic surveys are critical to offshore petroleum operations, providing data used to map subsurface geology, identify hydrocarbon prospects, and support future exploration and development planning.
MARAD has urged vessels operating in the vicinity to exercise caution and observe standard maritime safety protocols while the survey program is underway.
