They never found a use for tribbles but these are part of the Million dollar order (it is generally presumed). At first glance they don't have near the glam as a Proteus would but they are patent-pending items so gaining market acceptance is huge in terms of repeat orders.
---------------------- Deep Down Announces SDB System Orders for $1 Million
HOUSTON, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Deep Down, Inc. (OTC:DPDW) (BULLETIN BOARD: DPDW) today announced orders for its patent pending SDB (Subsea Deployment Basket) systems totaling $1,000,000. These systems will be used to install hydraulic steel tube flying leads offshore West Africa and to install flexible pipe gas lift jumpers offshore Brazil. These systems are expected to be delivered in October of this year.
Deep Down's patent pending SDB System utilizes a unique mudmat and cartridge layout that allows for installation of hydraulic flying leads, electric flying leads, gas lift jumpers and other subsea equipment from the seabed, thereby eliminating the need for expensive, surface-based installation equipment. The SDB System is particularly attractive for installations in remote locations where vessel availability may be limited or in cases where there are multiple flying leads or jumpers to install. For more information on the SDB System and its ability to provide efficient, cost-saving installation methodologies, please contact Steve Pahls at 281-862-2201
