<<Unless they've bought another fleet since buying Global Marine from C&W, your numbers are highly inflated. From the April press release announcing GBLX's purchase of the cable-laying fleet: "Global Marine is the world's largest and most advanced undersea cable installation and maintenance company with a fleet of 13 cable ships (33 percent of the world's total), 21 submersible vehicles and 1,200 employees now servicing more than 35 percent of the world's undersea cable miles.">> Thanks Rebel... I will recheck my source for that information, which was about three months ago. I wasn't surprised with the number, as I had skippered some of their vessels 30 years ago and crewed on the Glomar Explorer. Sorry if that figure was not accurate.
