Hello all

Any updates on the two recent catastophies for FLC?

1. The Falcon Ice ran aground while under tow into Singapore harbor about 2 weeks ago.

2. The Pathfinder dropped her BOP's and 20 joints of riser in about 7000' of water in the Gulf of Mexico last Friday.

The latter one has some pretty serious implications - but I haven't heard any info as to how it happened. My guess is either failure of a riser connection or failure of the elevators.

Regards to all.
