The Wave Sentinel has just arrived at the port of Guaranao and begins the customs procedures to begin the definitive repair of the subsea cable.
The specialized vessel Wave Sentinel dropped anchor at 9:30 a.m. in Venezuelan waters and docked in the port of Guaranao. From this moment, the team begins the necessary customs procedures to begin the definitive repair operation.
The end is very close
Twenty-three days after the June 24 earthquake, Venezuela is very close to restoring its international connectivity to 100%. The Wave Sentinel has on board the specialized technical team, the underwater robot and the materials necessary to execute the repair.
Once the customs procedures are completed, the vessel will position itself on the exact point of the cut and deploy the underwater robot to start the operation.
What made it possible to get here
The arrival of the Wave Sentinel tonight is the result of 23 days of uninterrupted work. A regulatory process that normally takes more than 45 days was completed in 14, thanks to the commitment of the Venezuelan government and the accompaniment of CONATEL.
Next update
Cirion Technologies will report as soon as the team completes the inspection of the damage and the repair plan is defined.
