Dear All,



Thought I’d give you all an update on where we (FLAG) are with the cable
cuts –



FEA Segment D - The Cable ship CS Certamen is now expected to arrive at
the Alexandria repair ground on Wednesday 6^th February. A Permit for
the repair is currently being expedited with the Egyptian authorities.



FEA Segment M - The cable ship CS Asean Restorer has been booked for
this repair. It is currently out on an APCN repair and with current plan
will be ready to start any work on our cable on or after 11th Feb. We
have the OTDR traces from Penang and see that the fault is around 28km
out from the station.



FALCON Segment 7b (Bandra Abbas – Al Seeb) - E-Marine continues to await
the permit to enter the Iranian waters and current forecast for the ship
to start a work is around 19^th February.



FALCON Segment 2 - Fault 1^st February 41km from repeater, which is
between the first two repeaters out of Dubai toward Muscat (Al Seeb).
The ship has left Abu Dhabi and is on route to the repair ground. The
repair is expected to start in the next 12 hours (weather permitting).



FALCON Segment 7a - Fault 1^st February between BND (Bandar Abbas, Iran)
and KWI (Kuwait), we are waiting for ship to go out and it maybe fixed
before going out the fault on 7b – to be confirmed.



I hope this helps,



Regards,
