Desr Sirs,
Given the fact that current situation of EOPL operation is fa= cing big risk of being caught by Malaysia and Singapore, the DV strongly re= quested to do STS at port

I agree with that for the mutual interests = of all parties.

<= p class=3D"MsoNormal">Dennis,
Could yo= u kindly arrange a safe port urgently? We are familiar with a port which ca= n be used immediately.

Pls kindly revert at your earliest convenience= ,let's move forward quickly.
