SEACOM problems only resolved next week
SEACOM said today (10 October 2011) that the total repair time of the current problems they experience will be around twelve days depending on weather conditions.
SEACOM started to experience problems on Saturday 8 October 2011, caused by a problem on a cable between Abu Talat (Egypt) and Marseilles (France).
“Initial estimates indicate that the total repair time will be around twelve days depending on weather conditions. This entails gaining the necessary permits and the actual repair time. A repair vessel has been notified of the call-out and mobilization will occur immediately once permits are received,” SEACOM said in an official statement.
“The outage initially affected all SEACOM traffic to Europe, however SEACOM was able to restore some services by Saturday afternoon.”
“Further restoration has continued throughout the weekend in cooperation with customers and partners and SEACOM will continue to actively work on securing additional capacity for all necessary services over the next day or two.”
