The Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) is facing escalating scrutiny after its latest statement on the MV Barima salvage operation directly contradicts evidence already in the public domain, raising serious questions about transparency, credibility, and whether the procurement process was compromised from the outset.
In a press statement dated August 7, 2026, MARAD categorically denied that any contractor had been identified.
“The Maritime Administration Department (MARAD) wishes to clarify that no individual, company, or entity has been selected to undertake the salvaging of the MV Barima,” the agency said.
