Underwater Cleaning / UWI – MV not applicable at Puerto Quetzal

Dear Sirs,

Good day. I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Nikolaos–Alketas Drosos, and I serve as the Maritime Commercial Manager and sole representative of a maritime security risk group in Greece and Cyprus.

We are a global leader in maritime security risk and crisis management, providing comprehensive protective and advisory services to clients worldwide.

I’m reaching out regarding your UW inspection services for vessels across Latin America. We’ve seen a growing demand from our clients due to increasing drug-trafficking incidents in the region, and many are now requesting pre-departure vessel inspections as a preventive measure.

One of our clients manages a fleet of approximately 100 container vessels (mostly around 260m in length, with the largest reaching 366m) calling weekly at the following ports:

• Argentina: Buenos Aires

• Brazil: Santos, Itajaí, Paranagua

• Chile: San Antonio

• Colombia: Cartagena, Buenaventura

• Ecuador: Guayaquil

• Guatemala: Puerto Quetzal

• Mexico: Manzanillo, Lázaro Cárdenas, Ensenada

• Panama: Colón, Balboa, Rodman

• Peru: Callao

To help us evaluate cooperation potential, may I kindly ask you to complete the attached table with details on the services you provide, their locations, and rates applicable to our group (please treat this as a wholesale rate to strengthen our joint bid for upcoming projects). We are currently supporting a large-scale client with regular calls to the ports listed in the table.

Please provide details regarding:

• Cost and time required for an inspection in a vessel

• Number of divers per inspection

• Areas covered during inspections

• Required notice period before scheduling

• Typical duration per inspection

• List of ports where your services are available

Additionally, I’d welcome the opportunity to schedule a short call to discuss how we might collaborate and align our services for mutual benefit.

Would you be available for a call this week or early next? I’ll gladly adjust to your preferred time.

Looking forward to your response and hoping this marks the beginning of a successful partnership.

Best regards,

Nikolaos – Alketas Drosos

Maritime Commercial Manager
