In a statement, MARAD said that since August 2, it has publicly advertised an Expression of Interest inviting qualified salvage companies to submit proposals, with the process advertised across state and private media as well as MARAD’s social media platforms. The department said the call for proposals closes on Friday, August 14, 2026.
