As Guyana sets out to upgrade its maritime assets, its defence force flagship, GDFS Essequibo is up for sale.
The GDFS Essequibo is a river minesweeper which had been purchased from the United Kingdom many years ago.
An advertisement in yesterday’s Stabroek News said that the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) is selling the vessel as is.
Offers must be submitted to the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board on or before Thursday, February 15th , 2024. Inspection of the vessel can be done up to February 14th at Coast Guard Headquarters at Ramp Road during the hours of 9 am to 3 pm.
In June 2009, a contract was signed for a $130m refurbishing of the GDFS Essequibo.
