- Status Recap:
- Shore-side cable (the cable heading south back to Oliktok Point Landing Station) has been recovered, tested, and buoyed.
- Sea-side cable (heading north out to Branch Unit) has been located and engaged on the seabed floor:
- ROV inspection shows 20 meters of accessible cable on the seabed floor. The target is 50-60 meters of accessible cable in order to reach the surface with workable slack for splicing operations. The water depth in the area is ~25 Meters.
- Continue ROV excavation efforts to expose more cable (total of 50-60M target) which is currently buried within the seabed floor.
- Wheeled de-trenching grapnel currently working excavation in tandem with ROV jetting on the above objectives.
- Good weather conditions but still poor visibility at water depth. Expecting visibility to improve with current weather conditions.
- Cable gripper standing by with ROV. An improved visibility condition may provide an opportunity to engage the cable for recovery.
