20 OCTOBER 2011

SEACOM has completed the restoration process for all of our customers on alternative routes.

In the meantime, the repair vessel is now in transit to the repair ground in the Mediterranean. The vessel has received the master permit for this repair;  operational permits are being finalized and should be received prior to arrival on the repair ground. At this time repair completion is expected late October, however we’d note that the usual exogenous factors associated with sub-sea repairs, including weather and currents, may further impact the repair.

SEACOM continues to monitor the situation closely and will update customers regularly on progress.
